Applying for financial aid can seem like a complicated process, but taking it one step at a time can keep it simple:
Step One:
Apply for admission to Wittenberg University. (We can only offer financial aid to students who apply and are accepted by the Office of Admission.)
Step Two:
If you don't have a Federal FSA ID already, apply for one at the federal government's website – fsaid.ed.gov. An FSA ID is used to electronically sign your FAFSA. (If you are a dependent student, one parent will also need an FSA ID to electronically sign their portion of the FAFSA.)
Step Three:
After October 1, file the FAFSA online. When you complete the FAFSA, include our Federal School Code (003143), so the results will be sent to us.
Step Four:
After reviewing those results, we will determine the amount of grants and scholarships you are eligible to receive. We will send you an aid package that includes those grants and scholarships, plus information on loans, payment plans, and work-study.
Step Five:
Make your college choice and send in your enrollment deposit. Most schools require a deposit by May 1.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Financial Aid Office or call 937-327-7321. We will be happy to assist you.

Day 37.
I made this recipe up with stuff we had around the house, and it was tasty, well-received, and extremely easy.
The Ingredients:
serves 4
(use 1/2 pound of meat per person)
If you are using 2 pounds of meat, use a 4-quart slow cooker.
Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melty.
Adam and I chose pepper jack for our cheese and the kids chose cheddar.
Since we're gluten free, I made our own rolls using a bread mix from Whole Foods. The bread was delicious--I'd definitely recommend it to those with gluten allergies.
updated 2/2016 : this variety of bread mix is no longer available.
That said, there are MANY MORE OPTIONS in the gluten free universe now than there were in 2008. I can find gluten free hoagie or ciabotta buns in the freezer section of many grocery stores.

text: I say no to Henson. Just don't ever see the kid getting big enough to not get pushed around at this level. At #9 MKG, Lamb and Barnes will be off the board...maybe. The past 2 lotteries have worked for Joe because 2 really good players literally just fell into his hands......could it happen a 3rd time? MKG will be GONE! But.....if Barnes or Lamb are on the board we have to take one of them, we need a stud on the wing badly! I honestly feel that if we can't get a really good SG/SF we need to trade the pick in an effort to shed CV's contract. I actually like Moultrie from Miss State but I wouldn't take him (or Henson -or- Jones III -or- Sullinger -or- Leonard -or- Zeller) at #9.

IF hires new city attorney, creates separate legal division
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Former Idaho Falls city attorney, Dale Storer, stepped down last fall after 30 years -- which led many to believe his resignation was due to billing irregularities.
Investigators later determined the city was actually "under-billed" and Storer did not face charges.
In the wake of Storer's tenure, the city welcomed a new attorney -- Randy Fife of Moscow.
The office of the Idaho Falls city attorney has been through some trying times in the last year; but Fife said he wants the office to be in the spotlight for its good work.
"I'm not worried about what may have happened or not before I got here," said Fife. "I can only start from today and work forward."
Fife is an Idaho Falls native and his most recent work was for the City of Moscow. There, he served as the city attorney for almost 17 years.
Both cities are different -- Idaho Falls has its own airport and power company, things Moscow doesn't.
"I'm learning how to work with the division heads and to work more closely with the mayor because the structure here is different than Moscow," said Fife. "Here, there's a strong mayor who's full-time and there they had a city supervisor and a part-time mayor who was there less of the time."
Fife was also given his own city attorney division and an assistant city attorney, to help with legal services.
"I think as long as I'm transparent and do the things I'm supposed to, make sure I listen to what the people want through the mayor and the council, I'll be fine," said Fife.
At the moment, the city council is debating whether to move prosecution services from the county to the city.
If they decide to do that, the city would handle misdemeanors.
They'll make a decision on that in the coming months.

Has anyone done this course? Would you recommend it?
I would like to teach EFL in a university/further education college. Would a course like this help? I have a CELTA and four years experience. I know I will have to add to my qualifications, but I am confused as to what I should do. Grateful for any advice or experiences.

Matches of Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration Data with Census Survey Data (Joint SSA/Census Statistics Development Project), SSA/ORES
Effective Date: August 1, 2000
System number: 60-0148

Categories of individuals covered by the system:
Samples of
Categories of records in the system:
Basic demographic characteristics from Census survey‑labor force, work experience and income items from the survey; SSA earnings information; benefit record information (e.g., title II Disability Insurance benefit applicant records and Supplemental Security Income benefit information); basic demographic data from SSA records such as date of birth; and selected IRS tax return items.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
Sections 1110 and 1115 of the Social Security Act; and Title 13 U.S.C. 182 for Census participation.
This system contains linked statistical files created since 1967 under an SSA/Census Bureau interagency agreement. Internal uses include the 1973 Exact Match Study which links survey records for persons in the 1973 Current Population Survey (CPS) to their respective earnings and benefit information in SSA's administrative records and IRS income tax returns. Earnings and benefit records are linked to the Survey of Income and Program Participation survey panels of 1984, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1996 and to the National Longitudinal Survey of Women. The linked micro-data are used for statistical analysis and micro-simulations in economic research on tax and transfer programs and for policy evaluation.
These data files are used as the basis of micro-simulations of tax and transfer programs. These micro-simulations provide policy‑makers with information about the costs and effects of proposed changes in the Social Security tax and benefit structures and in the Federal income tax program. Some of the CPS matched files have been used to estimate the number of non-filers and the magnitude of the effects of noncompliance with IRS and SSA regulations. The files have also been used to determine the characteristics of persons who participate in SSA programs. Certain statistical linked files have been edited for release to the public.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses:
Disclosure may be made for routine uses as indicated below:
1. (Through the Census Bureau) to a congressional office in response to an inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of a record. Tax return information may be disclosed only when expressly authorized by the Internal Revenue Code.
2. Non-tax return information which is not restricted from disclosure by Federal law may be disclosed to the General Services Administration (GSA) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for the purpose of conducting records management studies with respect to their duties and responsibilities under 44 U.S.C. § 2904 and § 2906, as amended by NARA Act of 1984.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining and disposing of records in the system:
Records are stored on magnetic media and in paper form.
Records are indexed by SSN during the matching steps at SSA and Census but identifiers are not retained at SSA after matching is completed.
Safeguards are established in accordance with the Systems Security Handbook. Employees having access to records have been notified of criminal sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of information about individuals.
During those matching steps which occur at SSA, identifiable data is solely under the control of a limited number of SSA employees who are required to uphold the Census and IRS statutes as well as the confidentiality restrictions of SSA. Similar provisions are made for the handling of identifiable data from the project at the Census Bureau. Contractors provide storage of and remote terminal access to files which do not carry identifiers.
Magnetic tapes or other files with personal identifiers, are retained in secured storage areas accessible only to authorized personnel. Microdata files prepared for purposes of research and analysis are purged of personal identifiers and are subject to procedural safeguards to assure anonymity. (See Appendix G for additional information relating to safeguards SSA employs to protect personal information.)
Retention and disposal:
Following the match, all identifiers are removed from the records kept at SSA. The Census Bureau retains identifiers for possible longitudinal updating.
Records with identifiers are held in secure storage areas at the Census Bureau and will be disposed of as soon as they are determined to be no longer needed for Census or SSA analysis. Means of disposal will be appropriate to the record storage medium, e.g., erasure of tapes, shredding of printouts, etc.
As long as identifiable records exist, a periodic review is made at least every 2 years to determine the need for their retention.

Notification procedure:
This system contains limited data selected for statistical analysis. Individuals inquiring about their records in SSA programs should consult other SSA systems of records which contain more detailed information. An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the systems manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification, such as a voter registration card, credit card, etc. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels the record to which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth along with one other piece of information such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR § 401.40). Records with identifiers maintained at the Bureau of Census are considered by Census to be exempt from access.
Record access procedures:
Same as notification procedures. Except in transitory stages of preparation, files at SSA do not have personal identifiers, and cannot be located on an individual basis. These procedures are in accordance SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and state the corrective action sought and the reasons for the correction with supporting justification showing how the record is untimely, incomplete, inaccurate or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record source categories:
Records in this system are derived from other SSA systems (e.g., the Earnings Recording and Self‑ Employment Income System (60‑0059) and Master Beneficiary Record (60‑0090)); IRS tax income returns; and Census surveys.
Systems exempted from certain provisions of the Privacy Act:

Council of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission and Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities to prepare reports on Bulgaria
Strasbourg, 29.11.2013 - A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) and a delegation of the Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities conducted a joint visit to Bulgaria from 10 to 15 November 2013 as the first step in the preparation of respective monitoring reports. During the visit, ECRI´s delegation gathered information on legislation, hate speech, violence, integration policies, LGBT issues and other topics. The Advisory Committee delegation collected information on the implementation of the recommendations it had made to the authorities in its previous Opinions and discussed new issues that had emerged since.
The delegations held meetings in Sofia and Kardzhali with representatives of the government, parliament, independent bodies and other authorities, as well as international organisations, NGOs and members of vulnerable groups. The Advisory Committee visited a Roma settlement in the Sofia area.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report to be published in 2014 in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in the country. Among these, two will be revisited in two years' time as part of an interim follow-up procedure.
The Advisory Committee will adopt its third Opinion on Bulgaria in 2014. Following this, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe will adopt a Resolution containing conclusions and recommendations addressed to Bulgaria on the implementation of the Framework Convention.
In its 2009 report, ECRI highlighted concerns about the very limited application of the Criminal Code provisions concerning racist crime; the lack of human and financial resources to implement programmes aimed at improving the situation of Roma; the continued practice of placing Roma children with no specific disability in special schools; and manifestations of intolerance and incitement to racial, ethnic or religious hatred in the press and on television as well as in political discourse.
In its 2010 Opinion, the Advisory Committee found that problems remained regarding: the personal scope of application of the Framework Convention; broadcasting in minority languages and the use of minority languages in public life; and co-operation with organisations representing national minorities. In addition, it observed discrimination and widespread prejudice against Roma and as yet unsatisfactory results of programmes aiming to improve their social inclusion.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, intolerance and discrimination on grounds such as "race", national/ethnic origin, colour, citizenship, religion and language (racial discrimination); it prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States. For more information on ECRI: www.coe.int/ecri
The Advisory Committee is the independent expert committee responsible for evaluating the implementation of the Framework Convention in State Parties and advising the Committee of Ministers. The results of this evaluation consist in detailed country-specific opinions adopted following a monitoring procedure. This procedure involves the examination of State Reports and other sources of information as well as meetings on the spot with governmental interlocutors, national minority representatives and other relevant actors.

Apparently Congress authorized some military contractors to be exempt from the Hughes Amendment ('86 MG ban) :
BillingsGazette.com :: Burns', Tester's views align on gun rights
"Both men also said they favored doing away with a 1986-passed cap on the number of fully automatic weapons available for sale. At that time, Congress limited the number of fully automatic guns - guns that will fire as long as the trigger is pressed - to those in circulation in 1986. Since then, the price of these limited weapons has gone up. However, civilian police forces are exempt from the cap, and recently Congress allowed certain military contractors to be exempt from the 1986 cap, too".
No idea what law they are talking about, but they seem to know of it. Likely an obscure amendment tacked onto a school lunch program or somesuch. The new ATF reform bill that is sitting in Congress apparently wants to expand that exemption:
Search Results - THOMAS (Library of Congress)
(b) Sale or Delivery of Machineguns to Federal Contractors- Section 922(b) of such title is amended by adding at the end the following: `Paragraphs (2) and (4) of this subsection shall not apply to a sale or delivery to comply with a contract between any person and the United States which requires that person to provide national security services for the United States or any training related to the services.'.

"A new aesthetics, free from preconceptions and conventional schemes and clichés…"
Following the invention of a new femininity signified by the talented designer Sylvio Giardina, we may reveal a fashion concept based on unique individuality preferences. The signature focuses on the praise and expression of sculptural implementations on the silhouettes. Giardina's new collection for fall 2012 exposes an incessant fluidity of the garment structure that creates an exceptional relationship between fabric and form, embracing and enveloping the body. By observing the witty contours and volumes of each costume we are prone to discover a secret path of an outstanding elegance. This unlimited cycle commences at the top of the neck moving smoothly to the waistline accomplished in the hem of the dress.
The collection comprises a distinguished classiness of winter colors framed between a palette of night blue to dark brown that cunningly connects black, dove grey and moss green. This sophisticated selection of hues is captivated in the classic fabrics of tweed, cashmere, flannel, wool jersey and organza. The accent of the nudity in the collection is expressed with feminine finesse and subtle utterance. The collection highlights the fashion identity of Sylvio Giardina merging Italian haute couture roots with futuristic influences of ultramodern art and lifestyle.
View the full fall 2012 collection from Sylvio Giardina at the gallery above.

BTW....a sealed hive, void of top entrances and a constant break of the propolis seal by the beekeeper, allows bees to deal with issues better.
Having top entrances, extra boxes on the hive beyond what the bees need, all play into the little things that make a difference.

McFadden out for Raiders with hamstring injury — 5:52 p.m.
Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden has been ruled out of Sunday's game against San Diego with a right hamstring injury.
Coach Tom Cable said Friday that backup running back Michael Bennett and left guard Robert Gallery will also miss the game with hamstring injuries, and linebacker Thomas Howard is out with a knee injury. Starting outside linebacker Quentin Groves is questionable with a hamstring injury
McFadden is second in the NFL with 554 yards from scrimmage. He will be replaced by Michael Bush, who missed the first two games with a broken thumb and played sparingly the past two weeks.
Starting middle linebacker Rolando McClain rejoined the team Friday after tending to a death in the family.

Ball possessive without any aggression?
Ok, so Breagha is 18mths old and ball mad. I have two dogs and both love to play with the ball but Breagha has flat out refused to bring the ball back from day one. It got so bad she would run in to the sea with it because she knows I won't go in after her.
I've been working hard on various different behavioural 'quirks' she has and the ball has played a huge part in it so I don't want to stop her playing with it. She doesn't have free access to the ball in the house, she only gets it on walks. The work has paid off and now when there are no other dogs around she'll bring me the ball back to me. If our other dog is there and he takes the ball she just takes it straight back out his mouth. He's incredibly laid back about life. If there are strange dogs about she would be aggressive with them over the ball but she's dog reactive so doesn't mix with strange dogs.
I am confident she wouldn't be aggressive with us over the ball, but she is still possessive and I really want to get this sorted. The research I've done on resource guarding and ball possession all talk about aggresion. She seems to accept I will get it eventually but wants to keep it from me for as long as possible. She has never growled, snarled or guarded over any food or toy.
I'm not sure this makes sense. Basically she's possessive without being aggressive and I don't know what to do about it.
Anyone any ideas?

This ball possession is not uncommon at all.....I had a female I imported like this. She was not aggressive AT ALL - just if she got it, it was hers! You could get bitten holding it up high as she would jump and grab - got a few bruises that way, never an actual bite.....she was the same way with a sleeve...you could NOT let her possess it and take it off her easily.
Always have a second ball and trade her, get her to out the ball by offering the other one....very common way to get through this. I always told people with pups from this line to start off with "two ball" because of this tendency to possession in this female's progeny.
If I understand correctly, she is now fine with bringing back the ball and giving it to you, but only if there are no other dogs around? As soon as there are other dogs present, she refuses to give it up?
Also pretty common. My older girl will try to take Gryff's ball, just because she can, as Gryffon defers to her and doesn't dare challenge her older status. He gives it up readily for me, but if she is around, he clamps down hard and won't let go - that is him channeling the stress of being afraid that Keeta will steal his ball into the holding on to this ball - hard!
I don't think it is fair for me to ask him to give up his ball, when he is so worried about loosing it to Keeta. So I try to make sure that Keeta has a ball of her own, or that I keep her physically away so he does not worry, or that I have another ball on me so we can play two ball.
In your situation, I would suggest two things:
1) Have another toy on you, so you can get her to release for the other toy. If you haven't played "two ball" with her, start in a safe area where she does not have the distraction of other dogs so she understands the game: if you are not familiar with two ball, you throw one ball, she brings it back, you throw the other ball, she brings it back, etc. Or if they are balls on strings - you have one in each hand, so you play tug with one, you out her, present the other one, play tug a bit, out her, go back to the first ball - etc.
2) Don't ask her to out (maybe only very rarely) when there are other dogs around. Let her possess the ball and feel safe in the possession of her ball. The possessiveness of toys is an important trait in working dogs - it makes for drive to work for the toy reward, so that is a trait you want to work WITH, not against.
With puppies (and 18 months still qualifies as a pup), I occasionally allow them "possession" days, where I don't ask them to give up their toy, not once, all day. It's theirs, and they can enjoy it. This has not caused them to increase possessiveness, I think constantly taking things away from them is what causes extreme possessiveness, as you can see how she acts around your other dog.
Just a couple of things to try - hope it helps, or gives you some ideas for other tricks you can work on.
That's it exactly. I'm glad others experience it. I've mentioned it to a couple if trainers but they just say to use traditional retrieve training methods. Like I said, they've worked with me but not when there are other dogs around.
I take out two balls but I will try and let her have more possession on some walks and see if that helps. I've started using her leave command and have her watch our other dog and me playing. She does it but it must be like mental torture. Luckily he has a favourite play toy which she isn't interested in.
Although there are no issues in the house we are hoping to get another dog next year. Because of her dog reactivity we will likely get a puppy but I would like to have this under control before introducing another dog to the house.
Thanks for your responses.

Just wanted to add:
The glue in tennis balls is corrosive to the enamel on the dog's teeth. If you are going to let the dog keep a ball for any length of time, I would recommend something safer like a Kong ball.
Thanks David. Breagha's absolute favourite are Kong balls. I like the bigger size, safer for when she's catching them. We stopped using actual tennis balls a while ago. Mostly because I worried about her choking but I had also read they weren't good for their teeth.

Twisp wrote:Joe Lares is a legendary callmaker. At 85 he is still at the top of his game, and a finer gentleman you will not find.
He brings his engineering expertise to call making. His calls are so precisely machined that parts are interchangeable within models. He's an innovator as well, and his tuning design is ingenious, using a plastic wedge to anchor reeds of various lengths and shapes to get the desired sound. He has 3 basic duck calls--A-5 (open water), Hybrid, and Timber-1. Each model has its devotees, but I believe the hybrid is most popular owing to its versatility. Don't sell the T-! short, though, cuz it's a little mighty mouse that is pretty versatile too. I don't have the A-5, but it is next on my list.
The material Joe uses is unreal. Acrylic is his standard, but his vast array of exhibition wood is stunning. He also will build you an all metal call in aluminum or stainless steel. Micarta is one of his most sought after materials. On request, he will sleeve wood barrels with acrylic to keep moisture off the wood, and the black acrylic end cap is very sharp looking. He will also use your material if you wish. Not only is his fit and finish out of this world, the shape of his calls are among the most comely. In fact, to my eyes his checkered A-5 is the most handsome call on the market.
Lares calls have a nationwide following, and hold their value well. When they appear on ebay or the classifieds one must trigger quickly to beat the demand.
If you are a goose hunter Joe makes great goose calls too. One of the great mysteries to me is why they haven't achieve the renown of his duck calls. He has a new goose call out which I don't have yet, but I do have a honker and a lesser call that are among my favorites.
Twisp wrote:Yeah, LA, I remember your preference for Hybrids, which has me wondering why you hang on to those two old style checkered A-5s that must be way too loud down there in those LA jungle swamps. I'm certain I know a guy who would give one of them a good home and a good time in some enormous WA wheat fields, where just loud is seldom enough.

They are very good calls! You will love your Hybrid! I just ordered a T-1 and it should be here in the next two days!
They ARE THE HARDEST to stick IMHO

Review Details
- Product Review (submitted on October 10, 2011):
With the introduction of various HGH-boosting supplements on the market, it's easy to be one of those products that's 'just like all the rest'. HGHPro is NOT one of those products. The dosage seems to be perfect - even for someone like me who is 250lbs+. After testing it on Anabolicminds.com, I immediately purchased more bottles to have on hand. Now, even my wife uses it!
Great product; great company; 10 out of 10!

Pennsylvania is one of 20 states that require counties to submit an annual recycling report to the Department of Environmental Protection. So every year, the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority faces a major data-management headache.
In addition to collecting and consolidating information on its own operation — a landfill, waste-to-energy facility, transfer station, and household hazardous waste facility serving 502,370 residents of south-central Pennsylvania — the authority collects and reports on the residential and commercial recycling programs of 44 cities.
Waste haulers submitted paperwork at the transfer complex, waste-to-energy facility, and the landfill. Authority employees input data from the weigh scale program into Microsoft Access and then to Excel, where they then painstakingly added data from local businesses. The data had to be entered twice: once into the spreadsheets themselves and again into the state's online reporting system.
It was a cumbersome task that took months to complete until the authority began using a suite of customizable Web-based tools designed specifically for managing and reporting recycling and solid waste program data. Developed by Emerge Knowledge Design Inc., Re-Trac is used by seven U.S. states and three Canadian provinces in addition to 42 counties and four cities.
The software is designed to collect information from most waste streams and from most sources, import data directly from weigh scale software such as WeighMaster, and import historical data as part of the setup process. An annual subscription is $3,300 plus 1 cent/person for jurisdictions of up to 500,000 residents. The per-person fee drops to half a cent for jurisdictions with populations of more than 500,000, and to a quarter-cent for populations of more than 1 million.
The software offers users more than 70 standard report options, so when unusual configurations are required — such as the authority's need to match the way data must be submitted to the state each year — there's no additional charge for customization. As part of the customization process, Emerge Knowledge Design employees worked with authority employees to define requirements, including the design of data input screens. Now, authority employees generate reports that show countywide program performance and trend information that they use to track diversion rates and identify the communities that are most successful at recycling.
Assembling the data in spreadsheets had prevented the authority from easily tracking recycling progress from one community to the next, so the real-time availability of data greatly improves the program's efficiency. "As the data come in, we can instantly generate a report and see how their programs are coming along," says Recycling Manager Tom Adams.
Census data may be entered into the system as well, allowing for recycling trends to be analyzed based on demographic changes.
"Standardized reports can help us do a better job to advance and promote recycling — not just to the municipality, but also to the public," Adams says.

I am in the market for my first handgun. I have shot several including .22, .40 sub compact, .40 full size, and 38 special revolver.
I'm am looking for a gun for home defense, and some recreational range shooting. I don't plan on carrying much, but I would carry occasionally after I get my permit.
I really want an xdm 45 but some people say that a 9 mm can be just as good for defense but is much cheaper to shoot. I think part of the reason I like the 45, is because it is more manly to have a big caliber gun. I am also concerned that the 9 mm could have a higher risk of over penetration in a home defense scenario.
I am pretty confident that I want a springfield, but am open to hearing other thoughts
let me know what you think.

To the outside world, a "supercomputer" appears to be a single system. In fact, it's a cluster of computers that share a local area network and have the ability to work together on a single problem as a team. Many businesses used to consider supercomputing beyond the reach of their budgets, but new Linux applications have made high-performance clusters more affordable than ever. These days, the promise of low-cost supercomputing is one of the main reasons many businesses choose Linux over other operating systems.This new guide covers everything a newcomer to clustering will need to plan, build, and deploy a high-performance Linux cluster. The book focuses on clustering for high-performance computation, although much of its information also applies to clustering for high-availability (failover and disaster recovery). The book discusses the key tools you'll need to get started, including good practices to use while exploring the tools and growing a system. You'll learn about planning, hardware choices, bulk installation of Linux on multiple systems, and other basic considerations. Then, you'll learn about software options that can save you hours--or even weeks--of deployment time.Since a wide variety of options exist in each area of clustering software, the author discusses the pros and cons of the major free software projects and chooses those that are most likely to be helpful to new cluster administrators and programmers. A few of the projects introduced in the book include:
Joseph D. Sloan has been working with computers since the mid-1970s.He began using Unix as a graduate student in 1981, first as anapplications programmer and later as a system programmer and systemadministrator. Since 1988 he has taught computer science, first atLander University and more recently at Wofford College where he can befound using the software described in this book.

Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The cover image of cowboys herding cattle is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Using their horsemanship and lariat skills, cowboys in the American West managed herds of several thousand cattle. These abilities would become especially valuable after the Civil War, when an increased demand for beef in the northern and eastern parts of the countryleft Texas ranchers needing a way to transport their product. Cowboys would drive Texas Longhorn cattle over 1,000 miles north to railroad cow towns in Kansas and Nebraska. These grueling journeys would take several months to complete, with those in charge of the herd working, eating, and sleeping on the open plain.

Watched France vs Spain this morning and it appeared to be an NBA Allstar B team out there as most of the players were NBA players. Spain had the Gasol brothers, Rudy Fernamdez and Serge Ibaka.......France had Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, Ronny Turiaf, Michael Pietrus and Nicholas Batum. A close game, but the Spaniards with more star power and execution closed out the game on a 12-2 run winning 66-59 and Turiaf and Batum almost started a war between the countries with some very hard frustration fouls in the end that would resulted in suspensions if this had been one of David Stern's NBA sanctioned games.

New Orleans Hornets to change nickname to Pelicans, according to report - ESPN Believe it. This is not an Onion article. Best comment to the article:
They also considered the Krewe and the Brass??? The Krewe could be sort of cool even though nobody will know what it means... just because it sounds like crew. The Pelicans is just really lame though. The guy already named a minor league baseball team the Pelicans in the past, so he's definitely capable of following through on this.
Not sure this would be my first idea of a team name even if they have alot of carnivals down there.
Wonder why he wants to give the fans the bird?
So where would Pelicans rank in your list of ideas?
Right around Ponies and Lambs. I like it better than Krewe and Brass but less than New Orleans Sterns or New Orleans Unibrows.
Utah should give "Jazz" back to Nawlens. I've been to SLC and there's absolutely NO Jazz to be heard in that town.
Their shorts will now be called Pelican Briefs?
I really like The Brass for their name.
how about "Bayou Rats"?

How is he making that much money still? Do those expenses count gambling losses? Those can really wreak havoc will a budget.
He probably is still getting royalties from jersey sales and such.

A hundred years ago the American people in the election of 1912 enjoyed the prospect of four candidates running for president of their nation. Over sixty percent of people voted in the election in numbers far surpassing the percent that votes today. The four candidates were:
William Howard Taft, of the Republican Party
Theodore Roosevelt, former Republican president of the USA, running on the Progressive ticket.
Woodrow Wilson of the Democratic Party
Eugene Debs, running as candidate of the Socialist Party
All four candidates attacked big business for its power and attempt to control the nation. Taft argued for trust busting, Theodore Roosevelt, who earlier had been a trust buster, argued it was impossible to break up trusts so the Federal government had to assume the role of strictly controlling big business. Wilson argued both views in his New Freedom program and Eugene Debs argued the Socialist view that several large industries such as coal, railroads, steel and communication should be owned by government while the remainder of the nation remained under free enterprise.
During the 1912 campaign there were no discussions about birth certificates, no attempts to smear opponents as being un-American because these men discussed issues that confronted the nation. I find it amazing that at a time when only about 15% of Americans were high school graduates and less than 5% of people had gone to college the nation discussed important topics related to the future of the country. This raises the question as to what has happened to America over the past hundred years that allows loud mouth crazies like Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck or Lou Dobbs to assume so much importance?
During the election, Theodore Roosevelt urged juvenile courts for children, strict factory inspection laws, the right of workers to organize, women suffrage and serious efforts to assist immigrants become integral participants in the nation. He urged the right of Negroes to vote and supported their right to education and to work. Wilson was more bigoted due to his Southern heritage and while not a great supporter of immigrants he avoided insulting them. Debs fought for free speech, agreed with his opponents in direct election of Senators rather than having state legislatures select them and was for women suffrage. It probably will come as a shock to Republicans today, but it was Theodore Roosevelt who urged adoption of a Constitutional amendment to allow an income tax and he was specific in saying an income tax was necessary to curb the wealth of the powerful(did you know this Ron Paul supporters?) I might add he was the last president to have office hours for citizens who wanted to talk with him.
Few Republicans like Ron Paul understand their party was the one which supported Negro rights, which wanted to tax the wealthy, and which wanted government supervision of business. It was the Republicans who backed labor's right to organize. Actually, it was at the nominating convention of the Progressive Party(a high proportion of whom were former Republicans) that for the first time in history had female delegates and Jane Addams was the first women to give a nominating speech.
Compare Republicans in 1912 with current members of the party. Today, every attack on Obama as being a "socialist" is because President Obama is echoing the words of old time Republicans like Theodore Roosevelt and Bob LaFollette. What is more fascinating to me is the serious attitude of Americans in 1912 to political issues. Slander does not enter the political campaign, and, ironically, some Taft supporters accused Theodore Roosevelt of being a "socialist."
Think about it– four candidates for president all of whom understood that wealthy men must be controlled and that taxation of those with wealth is necessary for the economic health of the nation. Think about it– four candidates for president who wanted an active federal government supervising business.
In the midst of the campaign while Theodore Roosevelt was campaigning in the midwest a man came up to him and fired a shot that hit him in the shoulder. TR's first words were: "Don't harm him. Bring him to me." He chatted with the man for a moment and then sent him on his way. After a few minutes TR gave an hour long speech in which he spoke about his vision for America. Unlike the current conservative Obama administration, Theodore Roosevelt dreamed of a wondrous future, he even wanted the Federal government to take over the Washington D.C. school system and transform it into a model for America. Compare that vision with Obama's desire to raise test scores and maintain the same curriculum!!
Once upon a time in America we had political campaigns which did not result in glorification of trivia and slander but focused on matters of import for the nation. The 1912 results were:
Wilson with about 35% of the vote, Theodore Roosevelt with about 30%, Taft with about 25% and Debs with about 10%.(rough figures).
I close with a statement by Eugene Debs which will never be spoken by the so-called "liberal" Barack Obama: "I do not wish to rise from the working class, I wish to rise with the working class."
I voted for Barack Obama because he was the best candidate. I believed in his ideas, at least those he spoke about during the campaign. Today, after watching his waffle on human rights, after his inept handling of Afghanistan and Iraq, and of his refusal to support a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to handle the Bush administration violation of human rights, I can only offer a quote from Theodore Roosevelt about Wilson whom he hated: "he has the backbone of a chocolate eclair."
P.S. I admire Abraham Lincoln, but President Obama should be reading Theodore Roosevelt and the man's vision for corporate America.

Also, I need one for under $30. Don't laugh. I don't need a visor, rangefinder or anything like that, I just need a helmet base that I can work from. Point is there must be someone with an old hobby bucket they never finished or something, so if you happen to know of such a person or someone who sells blank buckets cheap, please let me know. Maybe I'm wasting my time and should make one myself, but it's worth it. Thank you.

Brachytherapy (brak-e-THER-uh-pee) is a procedure that involves placing radioactive material inside your body.
Brachytherapy is one type of radiation therapy that's used to treat cancer. Brachytherapy is sometimes called internal radiation.
Brachytherapy allows doctors to deliver higher doses of radiation to more-specific areas of the body, compared with the conventional form of radiation therapy (external beam radiation) that projects radiation from a machine outside of your body.
Brachytherapy may cause fewer side effects than does external beam radiation, and the overall treatment time is usually shorter with brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy is used to treat several types of cancer, including:
Brachytherapy can be used alone or in conjunction with other cancer treatments. For instance, brachytherapy is sometimes used after surgery to destroy any cancer cells that may remain. Brachytherapy can also be used along with external beam radiation.
Side effects of brachytherapy are specific to the area being treated. Because brachytherapy focuses radiation in a small treatment area, only that area is affected.
You may experience tenderness and swelling in the treatment area. Ask your doctor what other side effects can be expected from your treatment.
Before you begin brachytherapy, you may meet with a doctor who specializes in treating cancer with radiation (radiation oncologist). You may also undergo scans to help your doctor determine your treatment plan.
Procedures such as X-rays or computerized tomography (CT) may be performed before brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy treatment involves inserting radioactive material into your body near the cancer.
How your doctor places that radioactive material into your body depends on many factors, including the location and extent of the cancer, your overall health, and your treatment goals.
Placement may be inside a body cavity or into body tissue:
Radiation placed inside a body cavity. During intracavity brachytherapy, a device containing radioactive material is placed in a body opening, such as the windpipe or the vagina. The device may be a tube or cylinder made to fit the specific body opening.
Your radiation therapy team may place the brachytherapy device by hand or may use a computerized machine to help place the device.
Imaging equipment, such as a CT scanner or ultrasound machine, may be used to ensure the device is placed in the most effective location.
Radiation inserted into body tissue. During interstitial brachytherapy, devices containing radioactive material are placed within body tissue, such as within the breast or prostate.
Devices that deliver interstitial radiation into the treatment area include wires, balloons and tiny seeds the size of grains of rice.
A number of techniques are used for inserting the brachytherapy devices into body tissue.
Your radiation therapy team may use needles or special applicators. These long, hollow tubes are loaded with the brachytherapy devices, such as seeds, and inserted into the tissue where the seeds are released.
In some cases, narrow tubes (catheters) may be placed during surgery and later filled with radioactive material during brachytherapy sessions.
CT scans, ultrasound or other imaging techniques may be used to guide the devices into place and to ensure they're positioned in the most effective locations.
What you'll experience during brachytherapy depends on your specific treatment.
Radiation can be given in a brief treatment session, as with high-dose-rate brachytherapy, or it can be left in place over a period of time, as with low-dose-rate brachytherapy. Sometimes the radiation source is placed in your body permanently.
High-dose-rate brachytherapy. High-dose-rate brachytherapy is often an outpatient procedure, which means each treatment session is brief and doesn't require that you be admitted to the hospital.
During high-dose-rate brachytherapy, radioactive material is placed in your body for a short period — from a few minutes up to 20 minutes. You may undergo one or two sessions a day over a number of days or weeks.
You'll lie in a comfortable position during high-dose-rate brachytherapy. Your radiation therapy team will position the radiation device, in the case of intracavity brachytherapy, or the radiation-holding device may already be in place if you're having interstitial brachytherapy.
The radioactive material is inserted into the brachytherapy device with the help of a computerized machine.
Your radiation therapy team will leave the room during your brachytherapy session. They'll observe from a nearby room where they can see and hear you.
You shouldn't feel any pain during brachytherapy, but if you feel uncomfortable or have any concerns, be sure to tell your caregivers.
Once the radioactive material is removed from your body, you won't give off radiation or be radioactive. You aren't a danger to other people, and you can go on with your usual activities.
Low-dose rate-brachytherapy. During low-dose-rate brachytherapy, a continuous low dose of radiation is released over time — from several hours to several days. You'll stay in the hospital while the radiation is in place.
Radioactive material is placed in your body by hand or by machine. Brachytherapy devices may be positioned during surgery, which may require anesthesia or sedation to help you remain still during the procedure and to reduce discomfort.
You'll likely stay in a private room in the hospital during low-dose-rate brachytherapy. Because the radioactive material stays inside your body, there is a small chance it could harm other people. For this reason, visitors will be restricted.
Children and pregnant women shouldn't visit you in the hospital. Others may visit briefly once a day or so. Your health care team will still give you the care you need, but may restrict the amount of time they spend in your room.
You shouldn't feel pain during low-dose-rate brachytherapy. Keeping still and remaining in your hospital room for days may be uncomfortable. If you feel any discomfort, tell your health care team.
After a designated amount of time, the radioactive material is removed from your body. Once brachytherapy treatment is complete, you're free to have visitors without restrictions.
Permanent brachytherapy. In some cases, such as with prostate cancer brachytherapy, radioactive material is placed in your body permanently.
The radioactive material is typically placed by hand with the guidance of an imaging test, such as ultrasound or CT. You may feel pain during the placement of radioactive material, but you shouldn't feel any discomfort once it's in place.
Your body will emit low doses of radiation from the area being treated at first. Usually the risk to others is minimal and may not require any restrictions about who can be near you.
In some cases, for a short period of time you may be asked to limit the length and frequency of visits with pregnant women or with children. The amount of radiation in your body will diminish with time, and restrictions will be discontinued.
Your doctor may recommend scans after brachytherapy to determine whether treatment was successful. What types of scans you undergo will depend on the type and location of your cancer.

Cool mod, but a greater Glock Mod.... 33 round mag lol
A while ago I purchased a couple of law enforcement trade-in Glocks. One was a G21 and the other was a G17 (both second gen models). These were my first Glocks and I was/am very impressed with them, but that is another story. Both of these glocks had tritium night sights installed, but the tritium was spent and the sights never did glow for me. I use both of the Glocks as range guns, house guns, and would throw one or the other in the luggage when I would go on a road trip (where it is legal to do such things) for safety sake. Well, I have always struggled a little to see the sights (my eyes don't work as good as they use to - sucks getting old) when at the range punching holes in target. I toyed with the idea of replacing the sights, but I didn't want to invest the $100+ to get new tritium sights.
I looked at the various non-tritium options and after-market sights available over about the course of a year. I finally decided on a course of action and pulled the trigger, so to speak. I decided to mod one of my Glocks, the G17. I bought a steel Glock rear sight (it looks like the plastic rear sight that comes standard on a Glock except it is steel) for about $12. I also bought a Hi-VIZ green fiber optic front sight for about $28. Total was about $40 before shipping.
Well, I installed both the front and rear sights on the G17, and what a difference!!! I do not have any problems seeing the sights anymore. Plus, getting the sights on target and lined up is much quicker now. This mod was well worth the $40! I will be doing the same thing to my G21 in the near future.
Just thought I would share.

Hasbro's Battleship movie may be an early contender for the silliest movie of 2012 — and the first trailer seems to have provoked near-universal hilarity — but everybody involved seems to be taking it pretty seriously, at least.
And they have an actual reason why you have to put the pins into the board and guess at the location of the enemy ships — the eeeeeevil aliens put up a huge mysterious energy dome over the ocean, which blocks all radar and futzes with your communications. So the super-experienced professional naval officers have no choice but to use guesswork to find their targets, until they sink the enemy's battleship.
UGO visited the set of this masterpiece in the making, and just put up a super-detailed report, which includes some new hints about the aliens. And it turns out there are four different types of alien spacecraft, which the filmmakers gave nicknames, after the members of the Beatles. (Presumably the "Pete Best" crashlanded on its way to Earth.) John Lennon is a giant flying bug that comes out of the ocean and shoots a "sonic pulse array" weapon. Paul McCartney is a helicopter, that also looks somewhat insectoid, and shoots a "sonic pulse cannon." George Harrison is a bit more confusing — the UGO article compares it with a Klingon Bird of Prey, but also likens it to a vagina dentata. And Ringo Starr is a sort of alien aircraft carrier, with different colored sections on its deck. Both George and Ringo have weapons that can launch "pegs," which is presumably just what it sounds like. Like in the board game.
(Oh, and a fifth ship is the smaller T-shaped Regent Ship, a command module which has tentacles connecting down to the sea floor.)
All of the alien ships sound as though they need seawater as a power source, which is why the aliens have come to Earth, or at least why they want to fight on the ocean.
And UGO also saw some sketches of the actual aliens, whom the producers are calling "Thugs." They're big bruisers, sort of like Kilowog from the recent Green Lantern film, except that they have cybernetic knees and arms. Some of the sketches looked more like zombies. And one had exposed bones all over its face, while another had a sick goatee.
All in all, it sounds like our fears that this would be another ridiculous toy tie-in movie are completely unfounded. The alien ships fire pegs! What's not to love? Tons more details at the link. [UGO]

i have no clue onto what it is. i looked at some pictures on google but all i see is people dressed strange. please explain this swag to me as im quite curious.
i have no clue onto what it is. i looked at some pictures on google but all i see is people dressed strange. please explain this swag to me as im quite curious.
When i was a kid we used to call it Street Wear ... just baggy clothing like pants that are bellow your ass ... long tshirts with some super hero or whatever shit on them ... different hats wearing with scarfs and etc ...
Swag is just like the clothing ... its by far not a Type of life like most of the kids on the streets talk about its just an rebellious type of shit that people like to do i myself like to wear baggy clothing to especially when i am skateboarding or snowboarding but i do wear normal suits and etc...
Eventually everyone grows out of that kind of thing...
if u hav to ask den u def dont got it
its a douchebag way of saying style.
swag is something that needs to die asap
so let's contribute and lock this thread towards a greater cause
Swag..is much more than how you dress. It's, more or less how you carry yourself.
It's not about dressing fancy.
But here is a challenge for you Try finding a normal job with your ''swag'' since you say its how you carry yourself ... i bet all those who are saying that work in supermarkets ... nbt that i got anything against that ... but swag won't carry you trough your whole life....
This is swag
"....However, as with all things, you will encounter the odd retard and or ******."

swag is no life style ...
The term "swag" has branched out to multiple meanings. Clothing style can be swag, an aura/presence can be swag, and even other inanimate objects can be considered "swag." Consider the term "swag" as a replacement for "cool," but with a little more oomph.
Its when you shit your pants and noone knows about it.
Moreover, if you ever attend nerd conventions, they usually have hand-outs that are called "swag bags." It's just a bag with neat promotional items in it such as flyers, pins, stickers, comics, etc. AKA, a bag of "cool" shit.
that pritty much answers yr query
Swag is an old term that used to be the free promo merchandise you got from concerts, magazines etc. Like, old Playstation magazines would give out "free swag" in their magazines in the form of posters, game demo CDs, etc. It's been appropriated by hip-hop culture to mean fancy clothes, acting like a douchebag, etc.
Swagger is the way you carry yourself, your confidence, etc. "That dude's got swagger", ie he's really confident and probably has lots of sex with pretty ladies.
Swag is Mojo.
Go watch Austin Powers.

j4, are these good quality? As compared to GI mags.
copes has some ASC mags in stock for $16 i think--
don't know how long they will be in stock as mags are still hot sellers.

they still got some of those?--LOL
ASC is a pretty good mag --probably a little better than the standard green follower GI mag since they come with a no tilt follower.
check and see if copes has the D&H no tilts--
as i think the D&H is "true" gi and they have mag-pull no tilts --the ASC/C-products follower are C_product made copys.
there both good mags-- just the D&H are current GI issue.
the best mag i have seen lately is the troy battle mag back when JSE was selling um for $14---
haven't seen them in a while--
still a few mags here and there --but we sure ain't flooded with them yet--
D&H AR15 30rd Mag w/Yellow MagPul Follower (Battleship Grey Painted), Cope's Distributing
they got the D&H/magpull for a dollar or so more.
and they even got a few magpull p-nags for $24 each in some rather odd camo colors--LOL!
Thanks for the link j4. I ordered 2, and I have 2 d&h already so I agree with the quality. Heres a question. So your link took me right to them, but I had looked myself yesterday and could not find them. After I ordered this morn, I looked again. They arent in the mag section, I had to go to ar rifle parts and go thru that till I found them. Whats your secret for finding this stuff? Some kinda hoodoo? Thanks again!
Clan MacPherson
Without your link you have to: click on assesorys, then rifle assesorys, then ar15 rifle parts, stop! dont click on ar15 magazines, you wont find them. Look in ar15 rifle parts till you find them. Its no wonder I didnt find them yesterday!
Clan MacPherson
i found them by accident -- i was looking at those $24 mag-pulls and they put up the D&H mags yellow follower on a "often bought with " link.
i clicked on it and they were in stock.
when you click on D&H mags though all the mags on that page are OOS>.
back to the subject the ASC mags are good mags as well either one will do the job.
it is just i prefer the D&H over the ASC/c-prod mag --more of a preference that science here--LOL
i got some of each, no probs with the ASC/C_prod either. most of the c-products i got were back when they were $8 and the D&H was $10

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Agree, try a second opinion...
|Second opinion find a new vet! Then report back. Sorry just doesn't sound right!
Please help- overly sensitive dog?
I have a 4 year old GSD, Maylee. She is my world- the most loyal, caring dog I have ever meet. In November, I brought home a puppy, Murphy, to join the family. At first Maylee wanted nothing to do with him. Then they played so rough I got worried. But it got better and I couldn't keep the two of them apart!
Now, two months later, Maylee seems very depressed. She will still play with him on occasion but she is just not "acting" like herself. Sometimes she walks around whining and will barely touch her food at times. She also will pant for no reason (no physical activity or heat) she also asks to go outside and then will just sit by the door to be let back in.
I took her to the vet and they did a physical exam and blood work. Everything came back fine. They seemed to think that the new puppy was just stressing her out. I went with that and a few days later she started vomiting. Called the vet again and they did X-rays today. Everything came back fine. They still think she is stressed from the new puppy. They tell me that Maylee is just an overly sensitive dog and it may take some time for her to adjust to the new addition.
I know Maylee is super sensitive because if i even raise my voice to correct the puppy, she will run away. also, if i take the puppy to obedience class and leave her at home, she will not even come near me the rest of the day. Has anyone ever experienced this? What do I do to make this easier for her?

Hi everyone
I wanted to ask if where you trained had a big impact on where you plan on getting employment.
So like, I want to live and teach in Vietnam as I have friends that went there and are still there (more like my parent's but mleh they can help me out) but when I saw that they also have classes in Thailand, I thought very hard and do feel very much that I want to go there. I've been fascinated by the country and want to go there some time in my life and I'm thinking this is the best time to do it as I'm thinking when I get going with teaching, finding time to go there would be next to impossible.
As for getting a job, like I said I have friends over in Vietnam that help me out. And I've spoken with a guy at teflintl.com that their company offers job placement assistance even if you don't take the course at the same country.
anyone think this is a good idea?
