You will get a number of differing views on this, and all will have valid points. I will sum up the various arguments and responses I have seen with regards to HomeDefense guns etc during my research. I am picking up my 1st HD weapon tonight, but have spent quite a bit of time researching. Just some things to think about, there is much debate on what is the best, but really it coems down to what you are comfortable with..
Many recommend keeping the weapon on/with you at all times. This will do 2 things.
1. Your ready for an intruder at all times, no looking/remembering where your weapon is. Many will also recommend you keep it on your person with one in the chamber in condition 1. This is very much a personal choice, but the argument is: how usefull is the weapon if you get surprised and have to remember to rack one in the chamber, or pull it out of a desk drawer etc. You very well may not have time to do anything but realise the danger, pull the weapon to low ready and fire in a true emergency.
2. If it is on your person or right with you, you have control over it so there is no chance of the youngster to find or grab it.
If that is too much or does not fit your family/life then I would recommend something like a gunvault MV500. This is a electronic combination lockbox that can fit in a drawer or even be kept on the counter, or wherever you are. I would recommend having the gun inside in condition 1. This keeps it away from kids, but still quickly avaliable, though it will never compete with carrying your gun for speed. They also make a fingerprint reader version for faster access.
As you said it does no good to be in a safe, the lockbox is not much better than a safe other than you can have it out in the room you are in. Having it unloaded with the magazine out is not going to much slower than opening the lockbox if you practice opening it or use the fingerprint version.
I hope some of that helps, again I have no direct experience with this myself yet. But due to child safety concerns and research I have a MV500 for when the weapon is not on my person for some reason.

You can see the greeblies it came with in the first pic but I scratch built the rest (using WOF's awesome templates) and I made new scope mounts. I'll post pics of that stuff later, I have to hurry to get ot bed. I just really want to show you how the stock turned out so far, and it was completely by accident. I'm really happy with it.

I wanted to know what people's thoughts were on this year's range of interchangeable lens cameras that have come to market such as Canon's EOS M? Will these new compact cameras with interchangeable lenses be the death of DSLR cameras because of their size or will I still enjoy discussing the benefits of using my Canon 1000D with fellow amateur photographers for years to come? I'm aware its an old model that I have by the way and want the 1D
So yeah what are your thoughts on it all?
The Death Of Dslr?

Lancaster County isn't the only entity to tighten the purse strings of the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. (LCEDC).
The city of Lancaster hasn't paid its $25,000 membership/participation dues for fiscal year 2015-16 to the corporation, though the organization is seeking its continued support.
At it's Tuesday, Oct. 27 meeting, city council tabled a vote on the city's LCEDC dues until it gets more information.
HEATH SPRINGS – After discussing three landscaping matters in executive session during a special meeting on Monday, Oct. 26, members of Heath Springs Town Council took action on two of them.
Council voted unanimously not to sow winter rye grass on public property and not to pay landscaper Darren Sowell an additional $1,472 for 184 bales of pine straw he placed in the town early this year.
Should the county be compensated for lost tax revenue from several agreed upon, but still unbuilt, condominiums and townhouses inside Indian Land's massive Sun City Carolina Lakes neighborhood?
That question was at the heart of a debate among Lancaster County Council members on Monday, Oct. 26, as they discussed how to proceed with the neighborhood's developer, Georgia-based Pulte Group.
Though he only had three minutes to speak to Lancaster County Council during its meeting Monday night, Oct. 26, John Baker made the most of every second.
As the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp.'s board vice-chairman, Baker was upset his organization's latest audit wasn't included on council's agenda for discussion. And without a designated time to present the audit in full, Baker decided to claim his allotted three minutes of speaking time during the citizen comments portion of the meeting.
KERSHAW – There won't be any buyer's remorse by Kershaw Town Council when it comes to purchasing the old Springs Mills property bordered by Hampton and Matson streets.
That's because it's backing out of the proposed purchase.
After meeting behind closed doors for a briefing at its Monday, Oct. 19, meeting, council came into open section and voted unanimously not to pursue buying the 9.1-acre tract on the north side of the town limits.
Members of Lancaster City Council approved first reading of a measure at their Oct. 13 meeting, to double up on two debts to build up cash reserves for another pressing issue that must be dealt with.
Without a single word, council unanimously voted to spend $330,000 to pay off loans early that funded 2010 improvements to the solid waste transfer station and its share of construction costs of the University of South Carolina Lancaster Native American Studies Center (NASC) on South Main Street.
Lancaster County leaders have given an official nod to establishing talks with York County representatives about the possibility of connecting the two areas via an extension of Dave Lyle Boulevard.
During its Oct. 12 meeting, Lancaster County Council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing Council Chairman Bob Bundy to consult with York County Council Chairman Britt Blackwell regarding a possible partnership on the long-discussed road project.
HEATH SPRINGS – The towns of Heath Springs and Kershaw are following the city of Lancaster's lead on addressing a state directive, but will join forces to do so.
Recent legislation passed by the S.C. General Assembly now requires the state's towns and cities to foot the bill for defendants who can't pay for their own defense in municipal courts.
A rift between Lancaster City Council members surrounding the mayor's refusal to sign two checks earlier this year will result in a procedural change.
Following an at times contentious debate and a confusing unanimous vote, city council moved forward on a modified resolution that authorizes a second councilmember to sign checks in emergency situations.
Council rejected a resolution that would authorize two additional councilmembers to sign checks.
From crafting new bylaws to investigating Lancaster County's failed bid to join the I-77 Alliance, county officials have funded a plethora of legal fees related to the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. during the last few years.
But how much did it cost taxpayers?
That's the question several officials responded to this week as repercussions continue to be felt from Lancaster County Council's Aug. 10 decision to rescind funding for, and end its years-long relationship with, LCEDC.

You should be able to take it to where you bought it and have them ship it to them for repair. As to sots I really don't know. The shops I've worked with never charged me. I had them ship it and it was sent back to them and I just picked it up.
It's not ejecting the spent case? I'd say your range guy is right.

It's more a location thing. The local breeder will let me see the pups next weekend at 5 weeks. The other breeder is states away and won't tell me if there is even a temperament match until the pup is 7 weeks. If the socialization before eight weeks is not an issue then I plan on going with my gut instinct after I meet the pups and the breeder next weekend :-)

I think with buying puppies Alena, a lot of what you are paying for is the experience of the breeder and do you trust them. Whether they do the whole Volhard thing at 7wks or just observe the litter in different surroundings, do you trust what they're telling you?
Have you at least seen both sets of dogs to get an idea of their temperaments? I'm not sure if I'm reading what you mean correctly, but if the one breeder won't let you at least see the litter ahead of time, and I understand protecting the pups from parvo, etc. I would write that one off.

With someone far away, your trainer can say loads of good stuff about them, without losing a customer. The one that is near is a little trickier. Saying good stuff and you buying a dog from him, might eventually have you over there doing training. But saying bad stuff will look self-serving. It will appear to be competition. So the trainer is saying nothing. Nothing good, nothing bad. It might be better to try and find out information on him from a different source.

How much does socialization and outside time matter before 8 weeks??

Do both breeders have websites that you can link to?
Personally, I'd at least like to see some socialization to people prior to going home at 8 weeks old. Most breeders won't allow people to visit when the puppies are really young and at the most risk, but at a certain point they will allow people to come meet the puppies. I also don't see any reason why the pups would need to stay in the kennel all the time when he's got all that property to explore. That seems odd to me.
Temperament testing isn't 100%, but it can give you an idea of which puppies would be most suited for what kinds of homes. Just because it's not perfect doesn't mean it should be totally dismissed. Spending time with the puppies from the time they're born will also tell the breeder a lot about each puppy's personality.
I've shipped a puppy across the country, and we're very happy with her. Halo came from Connecticut, and we live in the San Francisco Bay Area. But the breeder was a member of the board at the time, several people I knew online had puppies from her, and some of my long time forum friends knew her and trained with her. They'd actually met Halo at training and thought she'd be perfect for us, and encouraged us to contact the breeder about her. It might have been different if it was a breeder I didn't know much about, who hadn't come highly recommended by people I knew and trusted. How much do you know about the long distance breeder?
Litters born in December may not go outside at all in their first 8 weeks. Too cold. And if they do go outside, they will not be on grass but on snow. At least, up here they will be. Somehow pups from these litters manage ok.
For the first couple of weeks, eyes and ears aren't open, or are not yet able to see well enough yet, and it really doesn't matter. They wriggle to mom and eat and poop. From 3-8 weeks, they can walk and see and play with their littermates. They learn a lot from their littermates, and they become accustomed to typical sights and sounds. If they spend a lot of time inside, they are unlikely to be weirded out by common inside noises, like the television, radio, washer, toilet, etc.
There are a lot of differences puppies have to manage when they go from the breeder's situation to their new owner's situation. Different voices, different hands, different smells, and the lack of their littermates and dam are the big ones. But they also may have to learn to navigate stairs, to wait to go potty, to be in a crate, a new yard, etc.
I really don't think a dog with decent nerves will be unable to cope with the sights and sounds inside a home if you bring it home and inside right at eight weeks old.
My pups never set food on carpet. I have carpet in my living room, but I carry them outside (usually as a group), and their inside area is not carpeted. I am sure puppies and the pups that I keep have had no trouble whatsoever adjusting to carpet after 8 weeks without ever experiencing it.
If you trust both breeders, go with the one that makes the best sense, and do not worry about it. If someone is doing a LOT of specific socialization with their pups, it can be the total opposite, those dogs might NEED that where the other dogs might have overall stronger nerves and not need all that extra socialization.
In the end, the dog is what it is genetically. The dam imprints the puppy. Early socialization experiences can give a pup a leg up to reach the potential that his genetics allow. But a dog with good character will be fine even if it is raised in a kennel atmosphere.

How much does socialization and outside time matter before 8 weeks??
Getting a GSD within the next few weeks/month. I'm torn between 2 breeders!! One of the pups is here locally(outside Houston) he's a dog trainer and has been for upwards of 20 some years his sport is schutzhund. He breeds a few of his dogs and only has a couple litters a year. I've yet to find anything negative about the guy. He's very helpful when I talk to him and doesn't seem to just tell me what I want to hear ,like I feel other breeders have done. However his pups are staying in one of the kennels on his property. They were born in a whelping box he has in one of his attached garages that he converted for the purpose. Attachment 213306 He has 4 kennels at his 2.5 acre home. He has more training kennels on another property not far from him. My question is that there is a chance that when I get the dogs at 8 weeks she may not have spent anytime in the grass or with other people aside from him. His reasoning is for protection of the pup which really may be no big deal since she is so young. The Other breeder is a lot more intense about her pups. Even though Ive put money down she can't guarantee me a pup because she does temperament testing. Many people think this is a joke because at 7-8 weeks the pup is going to change so much! She does however spend time with her pups outside some. Both breeders have health guarantees on hips/elbows have done x-rays on parents and all that. I guess my question is does it matter that the one dog will have not explored at all aside from her litter mates and momma and of course the breeder?? I'm going to see the local pup next weekend. The one that is across the country would be picked for me according to what I'm looking for in temperament. I hate the idea of shipping a pup but I know people do it. HELP!! There are 2 girls in the litter here that I would get to pick from. They are all pretty much either black/tan or sable and all come from lines of working dogs. Prices in both are 1500..(price isn't as big of an issue as quality is)
Thanks! The pic is one of the local girls at 4 weeks

He basically tossed a gradient on the new one and trimmed back the rays from the first piece. It's pretty much the same as the one from the summer. It's a sunset silhouette reflecting over water. It's not EXACT, but he's reusing the idea he did only a few months earlier and printed with last time.
I'm going to have to side with those who are saying they aren't the same design. Ramyb tends to reuse general ideas over and over and over again. So yes, both designs are spherical and located on the chest of the shirt. But that doesn't mean that he just rehashed the Aztec design and slapped on a new name. Ramyb just uses the same few formats because he isn't really that creative.
There are plenty of legitimate faults to many of his designs, people can't go out of their way to make up something to complain about. Because when that happens, then all the blind Ramyb supporters can point at all the complaints, even valid ones, and say that we're just trying to bash on Ramyb.

Women's Tennis Falls to Eastern Michigan in Spring Opener Friday
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
MADISON, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's tennis team opened up its spring season on Friday with a match against Eastern Michigan at the Nielsen Tennis Center on the University of Wisconsin campus. The Phoenix dropped its first contest of 2012, 7-0, to the Eagles.
Phoenix freshman Amanda Timm (Milwaukee, Wis.) was involved in Green Bay's two closest matches of the evening - the No. 3 singles and the No. 2 doubles matches. In singles action, Timm dropped a tight 7-5, 6-4 result to EMU's Mariya Toncheva after teaming up with junior Rebecca Nelson (Brookfield, Wis.) for a narrow, 8-6 defeat in the second doubles spot.
The duo of Jennifer Bradfield (Fairfield, Iowa) and Morgan Weuve (Green Bay, Wis.) had a tough test in the No. 1 doubles match, facing the Eagles' nationally-ranked pair of Nino Mebuke and Miriam Westerink. Bradfield and Weuve hung tough, but Mebuke and Westerink prevailed with an 8-3 result.
The Phoenix women will return to action on Sunday when they travel back to Madison to take on Wisconsin at 9 a.m.
No. 1 - Miriam Westerink (EMU) def. Jennifer Bradfield (GB) 6-1, 6-1
No. 2 - Nino Mebuke (EMU) def. Morgan Weuve (GB) 6-0, 6-1
No. 3 - Mariya Toncheva (EMU) def. Amanda Timm (GB) 7-5, 6-4
No. 4 - Ankita Bhatia (EMU) def. Maria Anderson (GB) 6-1, 6-0
No. 5 - Marcela Rivero (EMU) def. Rebecca Nelson (GB) 6-1, 6-0
No. 6 - Daphne Friedrichs (EMU) def. Hayley Harnden (GB) 6-0, 6-0
No. 1 - No. 57 Mebuke/Westerink (EMU) def. Bradfield/Weuve (GB) 8-3
No. 2 - Georgia de'Lisle-Tarr/Toncheva (EMU) def. Timm/Nelson (GB) 8-6
No. 3 - Rivero/Bhatia (EMU) def. Anderson/Harnden (GB) 8-0

Raphael Sperry, AIA, LEED AP, sees social justice as today's civil rights—they both center on the human rights challenges affecting communities. As a senior consultant at Simon & Associates Inc., in San Francisco, and recipient of the 2007 AIA San Francisco Young Architects Award, Sperry combines architecture and social justice as interdependent pursuits. Sustainability is part of that relationship, and Sperry spearheads initiatives to combine green building with social consciousness.
My current volunteer work for Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility (ADPSR) and my consulting work in the green-building industry capture my zeal for sustainability. Think of sustainability as a three-legged stool supported by economy, environment, and equity. With economy, architects must find a way to design the buildings that people need and can afford. In terms of the environment, our profession is responsible for the quality of the built environment and its massive impact on natural systems. Equity is the big missing piece with this metaphor. Real sustainability requires everyone to buy in and to benefit, particularly those historically underrepresented communities such as minorities and the poor.
My mother and father spoke strongly about their political beliefs as I grew up in New York City. They supported a nuclear freeze, criticized the United States government for supporting the Contras in Central America, and discussed human rights issues around the world. I shared their outspokenness as I moved to San Francisco after graduating from the Yale School of Architecture.
San Francisco offered a slower pace of life and easy access to hiking trails. Since I've been here, I protested the buildup to the Iraq war starting in 2003—detesting how our government used unrestrained violence in past wars to promote its interests. About the same time, ADPSR invited me to join their board, and later I became the organization's president. ADPSR comprises design professionals advancing peace, sustainability, and social justice. It's a nonprofit group, and it seeks alternatives to incarceration as the punishment for crime. We support people like civil rights litigator Michelle Alexander, who criticizes our penal system for its racial disparity among prisoners.
Our group launched the Prison Design Boycott in 2004. ADPSR calls for architects, designers, and planners to boycott bids for new jails and prisons. The campaign encourages the implementation of preventative crime measures which would involve architects in the construction of more-affordable housing and community centers. Unfortunately, the State of California hasn't lessened its harsh approach for dealing with crime.
Still, I strive to bring sustainability and social justice together through my different kinds of work. Just as architects now realize how sustainability is connected to the built environment at a deep level that touches every project, I hope we might begin to realize that every decision about what to build has a big impact on the social equity in the communities where a project is located. —Astold to Melody L. Harclerode, AIA

Andrey Arshavin says Arsenal must convert their chance to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages against Marseille tonight.
Victory against Didier Deschamps' Ligue 1 outfit would guarantee the team's passage through to the tournament's last 16 after just four group matches.
Arshavin is pushing for a start in Arsène Wenger's first team after featuring at the Stade Velodrome two weeks ago and says the team simply need to get the job done.
"We have to build on our result from two weeks ago," Arshavin told the Official Matchday Programme. "We were disciplined in France and very solid defensively, which meant we could take our chance to win when it came.
"Now we top the group, and have a good opportunity to qualify for the knockout rounds today.
"I'm sure that Borussia Dortmund will beat Olympiacos at home, so if we win tonight we'll be through - let's take the opportunity we have."
Arshavin is part of an Arsenal squad that has shown great character in recent weeks, winning eight of their last nine fixtures in all competitions. The Russian believes the Gunners can push on now the team's new faces have had time to bed in.
"I've had much worse starts to be honest – at Zenit we once lost three or four games in a row right at the beginning," he said. "But normally when my teams start badly we end up being happy with how things have ended up, so I'm hoping that pattern continues this time.
"Most of all I think we were missing players – in terms of new faces coming in and establishing a settled side.
"That was rectified within weeks as our signings have come in and spent time here, we've benefited – and we'll see exactly how good our squad is at the end of the season."

+1, and I'd love to see this print if we can get a late surge of votes.
I love how fierce the pose/colors look, really feels like an incomplete drawing though.

But I'm blind, I could be wrong?
Well, the problem is, I'm sort of new to all this, and I followed all the instructions when uploading my images, but people still can't see my design. So I don't know that deleting it and resubmitting it would actually fix anything. I was hoping to hear back from some kind of customer support. But, alas, that hasn't happened.

This Customized Single Action Army .357 is one of my Colts:
This gun belonged to my son-in-law who was killed in a car wreck in 1979. My daughter gave the gun to his Dad. Several years later I recognized it in a gun shop and traded a Python for it.
This gun has a Smith & Wesson rear sight, Ruger front sight, Colt 1851 Navy brass backstrap and home made grips.

text: I don't really dislike any of the teams left, but I love the Chips best of all and then the Twinnies. Both teams make me laugh every week. My ideal final 3 would be the Chips, Twins and Goats. The Goats do very well at the mental tasks and are miserable at the physical ones. The twinnies are just hysterical. The Chips are , funny, and seem to be nice guys. This probably means Trey/Lexie and Abby/Ryan will be the final two.

Officer top vote-getter in Manchester Ward 10
MANCHESTER — Worries about public safety, especially an increase in armed robberies in the city over the summer, are credited by one challenger for his strong performance on Tuesday's city primary election.
Bill Barry, an Auburn police officer, topped the field for alderman in Ward 10, leading incumbent Philip Greazzo 313 votes to 265. Former alderman Jane Beaulieu trailed the field with 165 votes.
Barry said he was surprised at how often voters brought up public safety issues when he campaigned.
"In reaching out to them and talking to them, I let them tell me what their concerns were and their biggest was crime in the city," Barry said.
Greazzo said he recognizes that a series of well-publicized crimes in the city through the summer months — armed robberies, in particular — has voters uneasy.
"There's been more this summer and people aren't happy with that," Greazzo said. "Public safety is a top priority that I work on along with many other things. Public money is a problem — people don't have a lot of it — and education is another issue a lot of folks are frustrated with."
Barry said he will continue to press public safety issues heading into the Nov. 5 city election, while Greazzo said school and financial issues will continue to be important in his campaign.
Greazzo, a small business owner, said that aldermen will be faced with approving new collective bargaining agreements with unions, and claimed he would be better able to push the city to hold the line on those deals than someone who is himself a public employee.
"Who do you want voting on a contract for all those people?" Greazzo said.
Barry said he'll continue to stress public safety issues, but claims there is more to his campaign than the crime issue.
"It's not just police work, it's also community service," Barry said. "They like it when someone goes out and does community service work, too."

An interview with Rob Wray and Angelo Rajadurai from Sun.
Robert Wray: Hi, my name's Rob with MP3Car, and we're here with Angelo from Sun. Angelo, maybe you can tell us a little bit about what you do at Sun before we start talking.
Angelo Rajadurai: Hi Rob thanks for the opportunity to talk, and I'm pretty excited to spend a few minutes with you guys. I work in the Sun Startup Essentials program. I'm responsible for the East Coast implementation of this program. I also work in the Sun cloud team, and it's very important for Sun that startups actually adopt the cloud. And we're seeing a lot of startups actually working on the cloud, and we want to make sure that startups can use and benefit from Sun's cloud effort as well. That's in a nutshell what I do at Sun.
Robert Wray: Well thanks a lot for taking the time to tell us what you're doing and talk about Sun's efforts. So in previous blog posts we've talked about some of the things that we think are going to happen in mobile computing over the next five years, so what role could cloud computing play in solving these demands over the next five years?
Angelo Rajadurai: So interestingly enough what we're seeing is, you know the cloud is maturing really, really quickly and especially in the space of startups where you see all these great innovations happening. Cloud is making life much easier for new companies to come in and provide services, so especially in the mobile space where it's again a budding technology where there's a lot of these services that are possible.
And in the fast days it was very hot to actually provide these services because it took you, you know you had to buy a whole bunch of hardware, you had to setup data centers to be able to provide the service, but with a cloud now what we can do is you can provide these services in a much cheaper cost and have multiple of these services kind of come up really quick. So it's actually quickening the pace of innovation in the space as well, so there's lots of these services that are coming up, and I think cloud can really help especially in the mobile space where your device on your car is just an access point to big servers that can be hosted on a cloud. And a cloud provides you all this great compute power that you can use to deliver such a service to a device like a device on a car.
Robert Wray: Well what are the biggest challenges you see with developers using cloud computing to support some of these advanced features that people are going to demand on the go?
Angelo Rajadurai: So right now what I am seeing is there is no set standard for actually exposing these services to the access points. So that problem is kind of getting solved on the compute side a little bit because there are all these standards that have emerged and people can plug-n-play and mash these contents together if you may. So for example you could add today on your desktop a Google map, which is a service, with maybe a real estate listing service or something like that, and you could create these mashables really quick because the standards are already well established, and the whole concept of plug-n-play works very well.
I don't see that happening yet in the mobile space, so I think you need to custom put these services together. Typically you're gonna see a lot of these services that show up, but I think the value is in adding and aggregating these services and kind of providing a super service if you may. And for you to do that I think you need to establish standards, and I think that's one of the areas where things are lagging a little bit.
Robert Wray: So what's Sun doing to drive standards and help developers utilize the cloud as it relates to mobile computing or consumer services specifically?
Angelo Rajadurai: So if you look back at Sun's history one of the things that we've been very good about doing is to kind of define and drive standards, and Sun from its inception kind of believed that the computing is more than what you can actually accommodate on your desktop or on your servers. So we, by default, put in these network access points into every machine we sold. So for the cloud computing as well, what Sun is doing is Sun is actually defining the standards for the cloud so that it will allow you to kind of seamlessly move between what you're calling a private cloud into the public cloud.
So you could average in a service that runs locally on your own cloud or your own hardware that you have on your car if you may, and then when you are connected to the cloud, you can seamlessly migrate it to the cloud and accommodate services from there. We're not doing this specifically for the mobile world, but this problem exists not just in the mobile space, but also in the traditional computing space where people are kind of finding that the cloud is great for certain purposes, but for certain purposes it makes more sense for us to create our own private clouds. And we need to be able to seamlessly move between these two clouds, and Sun is now defining the standards. What we've done so far, we've published a standard for this and it's in the publish phase, and we're gonna have our implementation of the standard come out in a few days, which will make it a little bit more interesting in the space where standards are concerned.
Robert Wray: So how do you think clouds are going to contribute to a customizable mobile experience? So what I mean by customizable mobile experience is based on what you're doing, if you are walking or if you're taking the car, or you're sitting down you're gonna wanna different type of user experience. Also different users are gonna want different types of brandings, different colors, other things like that. What role do you think clouds will play with these customizable user experiences?
Angelo Rajadurai: So from a point of view of the cloud – so you can define the – and at least in my mind and am no expert in the big mobile space, but in my mind I see that the customization happens at the access point. So let's say you have a device that you put in your car, that access point actually defines your point of customization. What the cloud can do is because of the vast compute resources that you have at your disposal you can actually provide information from your access point.
Let's say – tell the cloud service that you are now moving at 80 miles an hour or something like that, and the cloud service can at that point decide what kind of content it wants to provide you. Obviously you don't want it to be streaming video to you at that point because it makes no sense to do it, but if the cloud service knows that you're sitting with the same device sitting on your - you know in a rest area and not moving, you could potentially send a service for video maybe to your device. So I'm just coming up with this example here, but the idea here is that because the cloud can vastly configure itself and change on the fly you're not limited to one or two different services that you can fit into your access point.
So even though the cloud - I don't see cloud kind of doing the customization because of the vastness of the resource. You can customize based on what your access point is telling the cloud. I hope I'm making sense here, but the thing is now you can think beyond your little device, and the cloud is a vast place where you can particularly have a lot of these services available for you. And you can decide which one you want to plug in to based on some configuration that either the user has set or that automatically goes to the cloud for it.
Robert Wray: Right, okay. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. So a lot of people, just to get back to what Sun's role is in cloud computing and consumer stuff, a lot of people think of Sun and cloud computing architecture as something that's just available in the enterprise; what open consumer oriented cloud models could developers look towards for inspiration?
Angelo Rajadurai: So Sun has traditionally been viewed as an enterprise, but if you go back even a few years Sun started off actually working with startups and smaller companies and consumers, and only in the last ten years or so where our focus has completely turned into enterprise. And we are trying really hard to get back into the startup space with the acquisitions like MySQL, which is very predominant in the small and medium sized businesses as well as in the personal space if you may. And with different things Sun has done in the last few months or maybe last couple years, we've really kind of focusing back into the end-user space if you may. And as far as the cloud is concerned the income in today's - basically Amazon, right, it's a great service, they kind of defined the space where it's really open to the end-user as well.
Sun's cloud when we announce it would be open to both end-users and enterprises as well, but that line is kind of merging really quickly. In maybe five or six years ago, you needed to be an enterprise to work with Sun because the cost of hardware was so high, and you had only one option that you could buy it. There was nothing else that you could do, but right now with the cloud that line is merging. It's very cheap for an individual to kind of get together a 100 machines in the cloud and provide a service at $.10 an hour or so, right? So that line between enterprise and individual is quickly kind of going away and the cloud is equalizing that space as well. So what Sun can do is it can bring the expertise that it has developed for enterprises and building these large server-farms and make it accessible to end-users. So I think Sun's exposure into the enterprise space is actually going to be a beneficial one while we bring the service to mobile users.
Robert Wray: Are there any specific examples where - we talked before about standards being one of the really hard problems - where there's been lots of developers that have worked to set standards and have made consumer products or is that still yet to happen?
Angelo Rajadurai: So there are many places in the compute space where there was all these standards were set by end-users. In many cases these standards get set because one company is driving it, one large enterprise drives it and then everybody comes in. For example, if you look at the Wal-Mart case when our FID was being pushed. Wal-Mart kind of came and said, "This is the standard that you will follow for our FID," and that became the standard. Or if you look at the ebXML space where it's XML for businesses, the standards were set because some large company kind of blow it. But you also see a lot more examples of these, like for example in the SQL space there's more startups like MySQL, which was a very small startup a few years ago kind of set the standard for this open source database space. So the standards are being set either by a large company driving it or by a grass root effort, which see a need and kind of set these standards.
And without setting the standards it's really hard to build up on a really expandable space. So if you look at any of the open source projects that are successful, the first thing that they need to do is setup some kind of a standard that people can contribute into, and this has been happening for a while now. So you can see that model; in one case it happens because of some company driving it and being the income, and they get to say exactly what the want to sell, but it also happens in the open source space where it's being set by communities, and being followed so that the contribution can be made simpler.
Robert Wray: Well other than a lack of standards, what mistakes can be learned from other failed or partially successful cloud efforts?
Angelo Rajadurai: So if you look at the cloud effort, one of the things that you really need is an ecosystem around the cloud. So none of these servers in the cloud can live on its own. So for example you can have a very successful cloud with really expandable things, but if you don't have the services that are around it then these cloud efforts kind of fail. One of the things that you can see with Amazon cloud, which is again the standard today, is that there's hundreds of partners and maybe even thousands of people that are providing services in the cloud.
So if you take that same example into the mobile space, any service that you're providing needs to have an ecosystem around it. It needs to have the support structure around it and without the support structure things don't succeed. You can have a great service, but if you don't have like the database support around it or if you don't have, in your case, like the location services around it or even like the developer help that is around it then those things don't work too well. Again if you look at open source one of the things that you get by open sourcing your software is that you build ecosystem around your software, which includes people that know the software, which includes people that can help you fix and install, scale your software and so on. So that's another important piece of any effort that goes in. For cloud and for everything else as well I think it's pretty important that you have an ecosystem around it for services and support for you.
Robert Wray: Well looks like there's a lot of exciting opportunities for developers that are looking to do bleeding edge stuff in the mobile computing space. So if you want to check out our blog for links, where to get started, we're gonna have a bunch of stuff there and also transcripts of the interview. So Angelo thank you so much for your time. We appreciate it.
Angelo Rajadurai: You're welcome Rob.

This week, the New York Times ran a series of articles about data center power use (and abuse) "Power, Pollution and the Internet" (http://nyti.ms/Ojd9BV) and "Data Barns in a Farm Town, Gobbling Power and Flexing Muscle" (http://nyti.ms/RQDb0a). Among the claims made in the articles were that data centers were "only using 6 to 12 % of the energy powering their servers to deliver useful computation. Like a lot of media broadsides, the reality is more complex than the dramatic claims made in these articles. Technically they are correct in claiming that of the electricity going to a server, only a very small fraction is used to perform useful work, but this dramatic claim is not a fair representation of the overall efficiency picture. The Times analysis fails to take into consideration that not all of the power in the data center goes to servers, so the claim of 6% efficiency of the servers is not representative of the real operational efficiency of the complete data center.
On the other hand, while I think the Times chooses drama over even-keeled reporting, the actual picture for even a well-run data center is not as good as its proponents would claim. Consider:

At the other end, Sabres goalie Martin Biron made 23 saves. He also recorded his second consecutive shutout and one of the more spectacular saves of the season. A minute into the second period, Penguins winger Shean Donovan had Biron dead to rights. Biron had fallen to the ice, with his back to Donovan as Donovan lifted a shot toward an open net. Biron somehow reached up with his glove and snagged the shot out of mid-air.
Penguins come through on tough road trip

Hey all, New to the forum. I have been duck hunting public in North Texas for two years and have gotten hooked. I graduated college got a real job and started spending tons of money on duck hunting. LOL A friend and I are wanting to do a blast and cast on the coast before the season is out and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on a guide and/or would be willing to take a newbie out (long shot I know). If you know anyone let me know.
PS my name is Kendall, I am 24 from Austin but went to school at UNT (go Eagles) I have always loved hunting and fishing and am hooked on duck hunting now.

ObamasDonorList.com launched to help track foreign donations
posted at 3:08 pm on October 24, 2012 by Anita MonCrief
Washington, DC – During his campaign for president, Barack Obama amassed a fund of over $750 million with many donations coming through the campaign's website through questionable donations. Some possibly from foreign contributors, in direct violation of federal election laws, were made possible by turning off the address verification system (AVS) to be able to track the origin of the donation.
Whistleblower Anita MonCrief, who brought many of the questionable tactics used by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to help raise money for Obama's election bid to public attention has put together the Obama donor list so others can come to their own informed decision on whether the campaign, back in 2007 and 2008 kept everything above board.
Donations are limited by election laws to a total of $2,300 for each individual but many were able to skirt that issue by donating to ACORN and its Voter Registration arm, Project Vote. In 2008 the Obama Campaign gave ACORN's Citizen Services Inc., (CSI) $880,000 for get out the vote. In 2008 and 2009, CSI received an additional $2.2 million from Obama's campaign. The big problem with all this is that Project Vote is listed as a non-profit 501c corporation and political donations cannot legally be made by a non-profit.
When digging through the Obama donor list it was realized that with the AVS not functioning individuals were able to make donations over the $2,300 maximum without fear of exposure. The law requires that when an individual donates over $200 that donation and any subsequent donations are added together to ensure the total does not exceed the $2,300 maximum. During his election bid this did not happen.
Donations from foreign entities are also unlawful, but that didn't stop the Obama campaign from accepting them. With the use of prepaid cards and no way to verify a donor's address, it would be impossible to determine the origin of many on the Obama donor list. Some bloggers actually were able to make donations when they entered in false information, including foreign addresses. Without the verification process there is not much election officials could do about dubious donors.
MonCrief, went to the New York Times and blew the whistle. After several months of work with reporter Stephanie Strom, MonCrief was told the editors had instructed them to back off of the story, just weeks before the election.
Why bring it up now? Because the suspected illegal donations continued to pour in through the last campaign and by researching the searchable donor list voters can determine if the Obama campaign was using lawful fundraising or not. Since the campaign continues to accept money through the internet the question remains if the current Obama donor list is as lawful as federal election laws mandate.

If you suspect that you or your child might have type 1 diabetes, get evaluated immediately. A simple blood test can let your doctor know if you need further evaluation and treatment.
After you've received a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, you'll need close medical follow-up until your blood sugar level stabilizes and your doctor determines the most effective type and doses of insulin for you. A doctor who specializes in hormonal disorders (endocrinologist) generally coordinates diabetes care. Your health care team will also likely include:
Once you've learned the basics of managing type 1 diabetes, your endocrinologist likely will recommend checkups every few months. A thorough yearly exam and regular foot and eye exams also are important — especially if you're having a hard time managing your diabetes, if you have high blood pressure or kidney disease, or if you're pregnant.
It's good to prepare for your appointments, which may include visits with several members of your health care team as well as your primary doctor. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and to know what to expect from your doctor.
Preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time with your doctor and the rest of your health care team. For type 1 diabetes, topics you want to clarify with your doctor, dietitian or diabetes educator include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:
If you're having trouble managing your blood sugar, or if you're not sure about what to do in a certain situation, don't hesitate to contact your doctor or diabetes educator in between appointments for advice and guidance.

A buddy of mine and I have been wanting to do some silicone masks, so I figured since I wasn't as familiar with making them I'd start off with something familiar to use as a test subject. I'm not used to working with an armature and needing to keep thickness in mind, so I thought doing something I liked would work, but not something that if I made mistakes in the design/molding/casting process I wouldn't be compelled to go back and do the same subject again. I've done plenty of sculpture, and casting in silicone...but not like this. Seems fairly straightforward in the creation of silicone masks, but still.
Anyway, I chose Revenge of the Sith Palpatine as it's something I do with makeup I created back in '05 for the release of the film. Just some quick prosthetics I made in two days time. I'm familiar enough with the design, and it's something I felt I didn't need to be completely accurate on with making it look 100% film accurate and 100% accurate of Ian McDiarmid as each wearer's own bone structure is going to alter the features slightly anyway.
So, WIP time. Sculpt is nearing completion...need to add his left ear, fix a few symmetry things and finish texturing. I'm attempting to mold next weekend, as my first lesson learned is not to use WED clay. Works great for solid sculpts, but thin applications such as this is causing it to dry up quicker than usual. The harsh lightin is muting a lot of the texture that is already there, but once it gets closer to competion I'll take some better pics. there is a lot of detail that is not coming through in the pictures.
