Best shopping destinations in the city. Budget shopping is not an option in Copenhagen - but don't worry, you get what you pay for. Royal Copenhagen is one of the most popular venues for artsy authentic gifts, and there are many souvenir stores on Stroget as well. Nørrebro features more in terms of fashion, while shopping around Radhus Pladsen is convenient if you don't have much time in town.

As a follow up to my post from last week entitled Pistol Suppressors I have decided to purchase a suppressor for my .22lr rifle as I could actually justify the expense and noise reduction while varmint hunting. This will also be less expensive than the .45 acp suppressor by a longshot.
I read that the .22 suppressor will also handle my .17 hm2 ammo with no problem?
Any suggestions? I see that there are a few different manufacturers and know nothing about them.
AAC, Gemtech, AWC, Bowers, Surefire, HTG, etc.
Also, is it difficult/possible for a machinist to thread the bull barrel on my rifle to accomodate this silencer?

Kathy,Our family has had dairy goats for a few years and it has been an EXTREMELY positive experience. Here are my thoughts: very social so you must have more than one (or a pet that will pretend it is a goat - if not, you get to become a goat). For what it is worth...Tim

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boards (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/)
- - Snowboard of jumping and park. (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/45542-snowboard-jumping-park.html)
Snowboard of jumping and park.
I'm 5'7" 170lbs. I want a board for decent size jumps. I plan on going to the park with this board 80-90% of the time. I wouldnt mind being able to hit some rails and stuff, that would be nice too. I haven't done any boxes/rails or anything yet. What would be a good board to do this with? I'm looking for something fairly cheap. Like 230 and down.
I purchased this board in a 154cm but after looking online, I think it's too big for me? Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2011 | evo outlet
I was thinking about getting this board in a 150cm Rome Artifact Rocker Snowboard 2011 | evo outlet
Am I looking at the right kind of boards? Any suggestions would be nice. I like the price on these boards. I picked up the garage rocker for 225 with bindings, but I want what is going to be best for my application.
"If this matters" I currently ride a Burton Custom X 158cm"
The Garage is Rome's affordable board (no frills but solid) and the Artifact is their softer jib board, which is also cheaper (since why put a lot of expensive tech into a board that is going to be smashed into rails).
I think the Garage 154 *update:corrected) is fine. I don't think the Artifact 150 is going to be what you are looking for (but I wouldn't be surprised some kid is going to reply to my post saying that they ride the Artifact 150 down triple black diamonds and 90 ft step-up jumps... or that some pro does it... :dunno:).
I don't know if this board is wide. So you think I should keep it then? This board is going to be good for hitting some nice jumps? What style of board do people prefer for jumps? I rode a 154 burton custom demo board and it felt amazing on jumps compared to my 158 custom x. Then again, maybe my bindings aren't far enough apart.
I personally prefer a medium stiffness board for jumps. Too soft and it will feel squirrel-ey (like it is chattering/jumping/wiggling under you) as you approach the jump and when you land (making it hard to ride out your landing). Too stiff and you will feel tense and unable to make subtle/gentle adjustments to your approach line (although if you are confidant in your line it will be much more stable on the landing).
Length-wise again I personally prefer an "average" length board, but what that is varies a LOT these days. Again, my opinion is that for 170 lbs and riding all park, short is 150-154cm, average is 155-158cm, long is 159-161cm (those are really arbitrary boundaries I just made up). I can say that anyone who says a shorter board is "soooo much easier to spin" is a poseur and probably has never known the touch of a woman... Personally, I wouldn't worry about board length for spins until you are doing 540s.
My opinion with length/stiffness is that long/very stiff boards are initially less forgiving of bad technique... but then again you get feedback on that you are doing something wrong. What I mean by this is that most riders learning to jump have a tendency to want to second-guess yourself right before the ramp and turn/speed check. Short, soft board are very forgiving... but at the same time let your "crap-style" a 180 or 360 claim you did it... however once you start getting to higher spins (540s and 720s) and bigger jumps (40 - 60 ft) you suddenly start a hitting wall because you technique is sloppy.
This is all my opinion on things (I am bit of an old school rider at 32)... I am by no means a freestyle expert, I can only do up to a 540 while the biggest jump I've done is a 70-80 footer... I rarely do anything bigger than 50 ft now a days. So feel free to ignore what I've said... be wary of ANYONE advice on the internet...

An excellent start to what I'm sure will be an excellent helmet:cheers
Is he not using masking fluid? Going all topical with the scratches? (the way I like to paint btw). It looks like it because there is no shot of it all silvered up.

it was painted silver first. I am using the "scratch" method to remove the paint. It gives a very authentic battle damaged look to it.
The guy that spent a fortune on a helmet because he didn't have the skills, is now painting other peoples helmets.. :lol that's great..
see that.. You did better then you thought you could and now you're hooked.. lookin good so far..
I like the topical method because I feel like I have more control but I do like the looks of the scratch method helmets too and yours so far is dead on in color, keep posting, I love these kind of threads.
DM has exhibited some impressive talent the last few months and I only think it will progress and grow further.:D
Pretty soon you'll have yourself a fine ESB bucket after he's through.:)
Shortimer52-I just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity to paint your helmet. Its going to be lots of fun and I hope to make you proud!!
I did the silver first and then with school and job and B/S like that I just didn't have time to do the paint. SO a little update on the awesome bucket.
Little update,, DM has been working on this like a mad man
Wow...this looks great. I ought to have himdo MY helmet. because we all know how well I can paint;). You are doing an EXCELLENT job! You have a GREAT helmet on the way!
Come on guys lets hear some support on this mans hard work!!!!!!!
Wow, that's a great job! I'm completely jealous. :lol
nice man. that looks great
Looking good....Keep it up dude!8)
Great Work,,,,PM'd YA DM...:thumbsupQuote:
DarthMiller said:
I am trying to undersand all the tips and hints on bucket painting and have a question on this one. (Forgive me on the finer points of color). You painted back in the dark green, yet from the pictures it was before the 'skin color/tone' (like I said, I don't know all the names yet!). Then you scratched off this to reveal the green (for the majority of the back), then scratched further to reveal the chrome? This is how you can get the appearance of the 'skin' tone edging, between the chrome and the green. Right?Quote:
DarthMiller said:
Trying to understand before I have a try/attempt...
Some more pics you guys and gals can :love over, b/c I know I am.
Tell you the truth I dont think I want troop in this.lol
painted silver first...then put yellow skin tone color. I used masking fluid. then painted green. Removed masking fluid to reveal yellow. then used a combination of light gray, dark gray to paint details. then scraped off additional ares to reveal silver. hope that helps...last bucket I did I just painted all of the detail on the back

For many years now I have recommended that my students get a genealogy buddy who's job apart from listening to long, sometimes very long, ancestral stories is to go over a piece of tricky genealogical research and tell them if they have a case for including that person in their family tree. In others words the buddy makes you prove it beyond reasonable doubt!!
Here is an article that outlines what you need to have done before you can conclude that you have found the most likeliest candidate to be your great grandfather – or whoever. The further you go back the harder it is to be able to say you are 100% certain you have got your man/woman. All you can do is look at the evidence available and come to a conclusion and that is where your buddy and this article comes in.

|General Car Chat Lounge Discussion Forum relating to nonspecific Ford Focus models, car purchasing, auto industry news and any car talk.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've gotta test drive it though. Right now, I am probably going to get another Focus because I do like it a lot, but the Fiesta is making a strong case with better mileage and more upscale interior for the same $$$ or less.
I'm gonna check out the Honda Fit again, but it doesn't come with my one indulgence which is a sunroof. I'm not that big but I never seem to fit in small Hondas; I'm always hitting my head or knee on something. I was also thinking of the Hyudai Elantra GT Hatch but I can't stand Hyundai's design language; it's so overwrought.
I guess I better get test driving though. :)
Focus is made in the USA
Fiesta is made in Mexico
|Honestly, if price is more a factor for you, the Fiesta is probably going to be your choice if you find both the Focus and Fiesta comparable to how they drive. I test drove a Fiesta over two years ago and wasn't impressed. I ordered a Focus this month. I didn't look at the Fiesta again, not because of my test drive a few years ago, but because of the size. I have dogs, so that played a major factor. Think of anything you'd want to haul in a more "commuter" fashion than wood with your wife's CRV. The CRV gets much less gas mileage (and I rode in my co-worker's for the first time today -- I loved it, but I'm cheap and really want better MPG), so it's possible that the Focus could turn into your traveler if money gets tight. I'm not trying to sell you on either one, but just make sure you think of all the scenarios. :)
|I had a chance to test drive a new fiesta when my car was in for warranty work. The car sounded awful! The gears were grinding as soon as I pulled off the lot. I drove it anyways knowing I wouldn't have it for long. It just felt cheap and akward. I was thrilled to get my car back. The only pro of the car I can think of is the gas mileage but the focus should be pretty close in that department.
Maybe I'll go test drive one now and see. :)
I'm not too worried about the size difference. This car is just for commuting to work; we use my wife's CRV for traveling and carrying wood for my furniture projects. Partly why I'm leasing.
It's mostly about cost at this point. Once I saw I could get leather and a moonroof in a Fiesta at the same or less than a new version of the Focus I have it became a contender. It'll have to fit the car seat of course.
I'm gonna check out the new Mazda3 since they redesigned it, but if the price is similar to the 2013 it'll be too expensive. for some reason Mazda considers the hatch a premium trim level. The 05 I had came with terrible summer tires too; not good for the Great Lakes area.
|My wife has a 2011 Fiesta, we bought it brand new and it has 45k miles on it. It drives great, has less power, and has less techy stuff them my 2012 Focus SE but its still a great car. Now for 2014 you can get the color screen or whatever for the radio and some other things have been redesigned a little bit all over. As for the car itself I like both of our cars and have no complaints about either of them.
|I think you will just have to drive the Fiesta to know if you want to go with a smaller car (compared with Focus - i don't know the Mazda). The fuel efficiency between Fiesta and Focus is similar, and you can get all the horns and whistles on either car, so it's a matter of up-front dollars and size. Thinking that the 3 yr old might grow a bit over the next couple of years ;), but I don't have any experience in that department! I am still driving my 2000 ZX3 now with 232k.
2014 Focus or Fiesta?
Just to bump this up...
The lease on my 2012 Focus SE Hatch will be up in January, so I've begun thinking about what to replace it with. I'm going to try another lease. My Focus is just the 201A package but with the Sport Package, Moonroof, and Winter Package too. It looks like you can't really configure a new one in the same way any longer. I noticed though that I could get a Fiesta Titanium hatch with a moonroof for a little less than a Focus SE with a moonroof. Has anyone gone from a Focus to a Fiesta? What's the experience been like? I'm thinking I could do it even though it's smaller: 75% of the time in the car it's just me and the other 25% is me and my 3 year old. my wife won't drive it because she doesn't like a manual. :)
I haven't driven a Fiesta yet; gonna wait till December so I can try out all of the cars in the slush. :) 2014 Mazda3 (I had an 05 before the Focus) looks cool too, but I bet it's gonna be on the expensive side for the hatch and I need to save for a new house.
|I had the same debate and after driving all of them I opted for the new Focus HB. I wanted the manual, but once I drove each car with the small and big LCD screens I got fixed on the large LCD screen. I looked at the Fiesta but it was after the Focus so I went back to what I had test drove 3 times in a year. I love the car.
focus vs fiesta
hello, your post prompted me to register and join in the forums.
First, i am glad to hear that your 2000 focus has held up so well and with 200,000+ miles. I am still alittle bit concerned on the reliability of the Ford's. But, trading out of my 2006 audi A3( with all its gremlins and problems) i still have high hopes.
Alrighty, for my opinion on the fiesta vs focus:
I had a loaner fiesta for my wife's 2009 escape that was in the shop for 2 weeks. i was really impressed with the fiesta, very impressed. i liked the handling and the power was ok for a sub-compact car. But, it felt too small, i.e. the safety issue if crashed. But the overall impression of the fiesta brought me to look at both as a replacement for the audi.
I decided on the focus for several reasons:
1. The focus is larger, has more space, and about the same fuel mileage (per the sticker on the windows) than the fiesta.
2. MFT and sync. Flat out, this technology is what really got its hooks in me. Yes, its alittle buggy, but the touch screen is responsive and overall its awesome.
3. back up camera. Even though its a small car, the camera really helps along with the sensors. The sensors are pretty accurate, and the camera has nice guidelines and colored zones. Oh, and with the windows tinted, the camera makes seeing out the back easier.
4. better power. Even at only 160hp, the focus can get up to speed with just a little bit of hesitation. it seemed like i have to push the fiesta to get speed.
5. the titanium had all of the ammenities i had with my audi: leather seats, moonroof, hatchback design, good road feel, very nice styling, etc.
Thats about all i can think of right now. Good luck with your final decision!

As for looking to Europe as an example of "how they do it", well Europe is........, its just Europe. They drive on the wrong side of the road, eat cabbage stuffed in animal stomachs, only allow criminals to have guns(how do you take from the people who get them illegally in the first place?) eat snails, and a lot of their families originated from cultures that believed incest was the best way to cultivate a perfect society. I know may have just opened Pandora's Box, Im just saying that we cant really apply everything done with European standards to North American standards.
On Your original post You state a Municipal Meeting would be held on June 24, when this project would be brought up.How did that meeting go !Bee-Bop
I'm a little surprised they voted yes like that... I would have required a fence to keep young kids that are too young to read the signs from getting into the bees... seems like a tragesty waiting to happen otherwise.

I know we loved to hate TFS last summer; but, we also admitted that there were some interesting things about the show ... starting with its being in Hi-Def (ahem - paying attention, Lifetime/Project Runway?), and including Fern Mallis, creative teaming, and Isaac as the boss. No dummy he, Isaac has dumped the worst thing about TFS, Ms. Rowland, and replaced her with Iman - who knows a thing or three about hosting a PR knock-off! (PR Canada, for those who didn't know.) Kudos, Fashion Show. Here's hoping for an interesting cast, ala the inaugural season, but with someone more "rootable" versus merely The Fashion Show return

Scientists have been using microscopes to produce up-close views and gather data about cells and other tiny things for more than 400 years. Many times, however, those images are not just informative, they are beautiful.
Dong-Hwee Kim, a postdoctoral fellow in the Institute for NanoBioTechnology in the Whiting School of Engineering, frequently uses microscopy in his research on cell mechanics, a field he describes as "one of the fastest growing interdisciplinary fields in biology."
Several of his images have not only yielded abundant quantitative and qualitative data, but they have netted him awards for scientific imaging.
In 2011 he earned an Image of Distinction Award from the Nikon Small World Competition for his photo of a dis-organized perinuclear actin cap stress fibers in a mouse embryonic fibroblast. That same year, he was awarded an Honorable mention from the American Society for Cell Biology 7th Annual Cell Biology film contest for his movie "Hurricane: Cell Cytoplasm Movements". And in 2013, Kim took second place in the Biophysical Society's, The Art of Science Image Contest for his dandelion-like representation of the geodesic actin network in a mouse fibroblast.
Kim says his primary focus in collecting these images has always been purely for scientific purposes. "I am trying to better understand how cells recognize the physical properties of the cell environment and respond to them," he said.
Engineers have developed theories about cell mechanics and about what they expect to happen at the single cell level. But instead of describing the cell's response with a computational model or other simulation, Kim was determined to capture actual images of live cells reacting to their surroundings.
"Direct visualization of cell functions has become one of the most effective ways to support scientific findings, since it is the simplest but most powerful way to con-vince others," he said.
Using various microscopy techniques, Kim has been able to visualize cell components, such as the nucleus or actin filaments, in very detailed ways. "It is always exciting to become the first one to show something that others haven't seen yet," he said.
Denis Wirtz, Kim's advisor, noticed how beautiful the postdoc's images were and suggested that he enter some of his work into popular imaging contests. Each contest focuses on a different theme, but the bottom line is that the images must be scientifically relevant as well as visually interesting. For example, the image of the geodesic actin network in the mouse embryonic fibroblasts, which were used for both the Nikon and Biophysical Society image contests, "directly visualized the mechanical and spatial coordinates of filamentous actin cytoskeleton in the cell," said Kim. But the images also happen to be reminiscent of dandelions and fireworks.
Even if making a pretty picture is not the intent of the image, Kim thinks that having an artistic eye is important in science.
"I think artistic images in science should be based on a combination of aesthetic discrimination and scientific significance, which gives them unparalleled power to support scientific findings and persuade others," Kim said.
The old saying goes, "a picture is worth 1,000 words." In this case an expertly executed scientific image "can overcome myriad arguments," Kim added.
Kim said his favorite imaging tool is the "confocal laser scanning microscopy, which allows high resolution images in cell biology, as well as qualitative and quantitative analysis of images." He emphasizes that he does not use any software enhancements, such as Photoshop, to beautify his images. However, by attempting to create a beautiful image, he has developed several new imaging protocols.
"In challenging myself to create artistic images, it has sometimes led me to design new scientific methodologies that were not conventionally used in the field, and I think these efforts can contribute to the advancement of science," Kim said.
This article was written by Mary Spiro, science writer for INBT at Johns Hopkins University, and first appeared in the 2013 issue of Nano-Bio Magazine.

Why can an 11" Laptop Stay in and a 13" Laptop has to Come out?
I've read where some people are asking why an 11" laptop can stay in and why a 13" laptop has to come out?
As with any policy or procedure, we have to set general guidelines so passengers know how to prepare for security and our officers know what procedures they need to follow.
For laptops that need to come out of your bag, we describe them as a "standard size" laptop – which loosely translates into approximately 12x14" or larger. We're not measuring every laptop that comes through the checkpoint but that is the general dimensions of what we consider to be standard size. Also, the larger the laptop, the more stuff that can be hidden in it. So if your laptop is approximately 12x14" or larger it must be removed from the bag, but remember, if you choose to leave the smaller ones in your bag, our officers still need to be able to see clearly on the X-ray what else is in the bag with your laptop, so there is always a chance they might ask you to remove it to give them that clearer view. ~ Bob Burns
Why do Laptops Have to be Removed When Tablets can Stay in the Bag?
I saw some headlines today stating that TSA refuses to explain why laptops have to be removed and tablet computers do not. This kind of baffled me, because a post has been up on the subject since April of 2010. Most of the post explains what can stay in and what has to come out, but we give a reason why towards the end:
"Only electronics the size of a standard laptop or larger (for example Playstation®, Xbox™, or Nintendo®), full-size DVD players, and video cameras that use video cassettes must be removed from their carrying cases and submitted separately for x-ray screening. Removing larger electronics helps us get a better look at them and also allows us to get a better look at the contents of your bag."
The larger the laptop, the more stuff you can hide in it. Items have been found concealed in laptops in the past, so we have to be able to get a good look at them.. Our officers have about 3 seconds to make a call in order to keep lines moving, so the less clutter, the easier it is to clear your bag and get you on your way.
Now to get down to solving that dad-blasted Easter Island mystery…

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
That's a damned shame, because Thornton's menacing growl was indeed something special. The hefty belter first opened her pipes in church but soon embraced the blues. She toured with Sammy Green's Hot Harlem Revue during the 1940s. Thornton was ensconced on the Houston circuit when Peacock Records boss Don Robey signed her in 1951. She debuted on Peacock with "Partnership Blues" that year, backed by trumpeter Joe Scott's band.
But it was her third Peacock date with Johnny Otis' band that proved the winner. With Pete Lewis laying down some truly nasty guitar behind her, Big Mama shouted "Hound Dog," a tune whose authorship remains a bone of contention to this day (both Otis and the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller claim responsibility), and soon hit the road a star.
But it was an isolated incident. Though Thornton cut some fine Peacock follow-ups -- "I Smell a Rat," "Stop Hoppin' on Me," "The Fish," "Just like a Dog" -- through 1957, she never again reached the hit parade. Even Elvis was apparently unaware of her; he was handed "Hound Dog" by Freddie Bell, a Vegas lounge rocker. Early-'60s 45s for Irma, Bay-Tone, Kent, and Sotoplay did little to revive her sagging fortunes, but a series of dates for Arhoolie that included her first vinyl rendition of "Ball and Chain" in 1968 and two albums for Mercury in 1969-1970 put her back in circulation (Janis Joplin's overwrought but well-intentioned cover of "Ball and Chain" didn't hurt either). Along with her imposing vocals, Thornton began to emphasize her harmonica skills during the 1960s.
Thornton was a tough cookie. She dressed like a man and took no guff from anyone, even as the pounds fell off her once-ample frame and she became downright scrawny during the last years of her life. Medical personnel found her lifeless body in an L.A. rooming house in 1984. ~ Bill Dahl

About this blog: Hello! I am here to share my experiences of what it is like to live with a debilitating condition that doesn't stop. Born an orphan, it wouldn't be until 19 years later that I would learn I had a rare genetic condition, known as an orphan disease (go figure); HIBM (Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy), that could potentially take my once physically active body to a quadriplegic state. I am one of millions that have an orphan disease, but one of ONE THOUSAND worldwide that have HIBM.
Through old journal excerpts, writing, video journal and design, I'll attempt to give an honest portrayal of my everyday struggles, triumphs and journey. From the funny, the good, the bad, the migration of my weakness, to me as a designer, to finding an organization, ARM, that is trying to CURE it (yes, it can be cured) and the probono work I do with them, to a constantly forming perspective, and to a spirit that only grows despite my deteriorating body. Perhaps someone out there will read this and if so I encourage you to share, share, share this blog. Click here for ABC7 story

Home > News & Events > News > Expert Testimonies > R. Nicholas Burns Testifies Before Congressional Panel on U.S.-Iranian Relations
"Statement of Nicholas Burns Before the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs"
Author: R. Nicholas Burns, Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and International Politics
Written Testimony
Chairman Dodd, Senator Shelby and members of the committee, thank you for the invitation to testify today on United States policy toward Iran.
I have had the pleasure of testifying to this committee in the past as a government official. This is my first appearance as a private citizen. The views that follow are entirely my own.
One of the most important diplomatic challenges facing the United States is what we should do about an aggressive, reactionary and truculent government in Iran.
After four years in power, it is clear that the Ahmadinejad government is seeking a dominant role in the Middle East. It is pursuing with great energy a future nuclear weapons capability that would threaten Israel and our Arab partners. It continues to support the most destructive and vile terrorist groups in the region. It plays an influential role in both Iraq and Afghanistan, often in direct opposition to the United States.
Given Iran's confrontational policies on issues that are vital for American interests, we are, in many ways, on a collision course with its government.
In the short-term, we must assume that relations between our two governments will remain poor. We have had no sustained and meaningful diplomatic contacts in thirty years since the Iranian revolution.
Given the lethal nature of Iran's challenge to the U.S., our government must respond to it with toughness and strength but also with ingenuity. One of our highest priorities should be to maintain America's leadership role in the Middle East and to deflect Ahmadinejad's own quest for regional supremacy.
But, we must also recognize that the near total absence of communication between our two governments is no longer to our advantage. We know very little about a government that exerts such a negative influence in the Middle East. President Obama has gone further than any of his predecessors in offering negotiations with the Iranian regime. I believe his instincts have been right in positioning the U.S. to regain the upper hand with Iran in the international arena. President Obama's outreach to Moslems worldwide in his Cairo speech, his video message to the Iranian people and his pledge that the U.S. would participate in the Perm-Five Group nuclear talks with Iran have put us on the diplomatic offensive.
The result has been telling. The Iranian government has had no effective or coherent response to these overtures. It is now Iran, rather than the U.S., that is considered internationally to be the party preventing the resolution of the nuclear issue.
This is not an insignificant accomplishment. Unfortunately, many in the Moslem world saw the U.S., incorrectly, as the aggressor in the conflict with Iran in past years. President Obama has managed to shift global opinion. The U.S. is now in a stronger position to argue convincingly for a more tough-minded international approach to the Iran nuclear issue.
Given these developments, I believe that the best course for the United States is to continue to offer two paths to the Iranian authorities.
The first is the possibility of international negotiations over the nuclear issue. The U.S. and the other countries have declared their readiness to talk. The aim of these talks should be to convince Iran to cease its illegal nuclear research efforts. Should Iran not respond seriously and convincingly to this international offer by the autumn, the U.S. should turn to the second path by moving quickly and decisively with its key international partners to place very tough economic and financial sanctions on the Iranian government.
U.S. policy, in short, should be to increase pressure on the Iranian government at a time when it finds itself an international pariah with vastly reduced credibility around the world.
In many ways, Iran is now far weaker than it was before its June 12 elections and the subsequent revolt on the streets of Tehran and other major cities.
It is highly probable that the government's cynical and corrupt handling of the elections is a fundamental turning point in the history of the country. The demonstrations that followed the government's transparent intervention in the ballot counting represented the most critical assault on the credibility of the Supreme Leader and the government in the thirty-year history of the Islamic Republic. The reform movement that surged onto the streets was the strongest such protest movement in this entire period, representative of all age and ethnic groups and classes. And, while the government's brutal and anti-democratic actions on the streets appear to have been effective in quelling the demonstrations in the short-term, the reformers are unlikely to go away. It is more likely that the deep divisions created by the stolen election will be a major force in Iranian politics and society for some time to come.
Despite the relative quiet on the streets of Iran today, tensions and fundamental disagreements about the future of the government are simmering just below the surface. The situation in Iran will remain for some time to come highly volatile and unpredictable. Some experts on Iran believe the regime has retaken control of the streets for good and will continue to rule essentially unchallenged. But, many others believe that there is an equally good chance that the country will remain roiled by instability and division for months to come.
What is the proper way for the United States to respond to this potentially explosive situation?
First, I continue to believe that President Obama was correct to not inject the U.S. into the middle of the Iranian domestic crisis right after the elections. Had he done otherwise, it would have given the most reactionary Iranian leaders, such as Ahmadinejad, the excuse to charge that the U.S. was intervening unjustly in the domestic affairs of a proud country. By tempering U.S. statements and actions in the days following the election, I believe President Obama succeeded in keeping the international spotlight on Ahmadinejad rather than the U.S. government.
Second, the U.S. and other governments around the world now face a highly difficult and complex situation in Iran. Inaction or choosing to ignore or isolate the Iranian government would allow Ahmadinejad to continue unfettered the nuclear research that the International Atomic Energy Agency believes continues unabated. Allowing the Iranian government to continue to build a nuclear capability with no effective international opposition is definitely not in the U.S. interest. Refusing to negotiate would weaken the potential for effective international action to pressure the regime.
The right policy for the U.S., in my judgment, is thus to stand by the invitation for international discussions between the Permanent Five countries (the U.S., France, the UK, Russia, China and also Germany) and Iran on the nuclear issue and to combine it with the threat of strong and immediate sanctions should Tehran refuse to negotiate seriously.
But, the offer for such discussions should not be open-ended. The offer to negotiate has been on the table for months. It would thus be reasonable to give Iran a deadline of this autumn to reply. If no serious response is forthcoming by then, the U.S. and the other countries would have every right to turn to draconian economic and financial sanctions.
Some will argue that any willingness by the Obama Administration to talk to Iran would legitimize the Iranian government and would be an affront to the courageous Iranians who took to the streets in opposition. They say we should either do nothing or move directly to sanctions.
I think the issues at the core of this dilemma are much more complex. The entire democratic world was outraged by the brutal actions of the Iranian government in the wake of the failed elections. The Iranian regime was seen for what it really is-a ruthless group of leaders who have used the power of the military and security services to terrorize their own population. The Iranian government deserves the most severe criticism for its mistreatment of the Iranian people.
While it may serve our collective sense of outrage and frustration to stonewall the Tehran government, that kind of policy is not likely to serve our core American interest-finding a way to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear weapons power.
By supporting the international offer for negotiations, the Obama Administration is building credibility with countries important for any future negotiation or sanctions effort-Russia, China, the Gulf states, Japan, South Korea, Germany and other European countries.
If the U.S. refused to negotiate, we would likely have little subsequent international credibility to argue for tough sanctions.
But, if we offer to negotiate and the talks fail, we will be in a much better position to assemble a stronger international effort to apply tough sanctions on Iran.
My best judgment is that, even if negotiations are held this autumn, they will fail due to the predictably unreasonable and inflexible attitudes of Ahmadinejad and his colleagues. It is highly likely, for example, that the Iranian government will not agree at the negotiating table to cease its enrichment of uranium as the United Nations Security Council has demanded in successive sanctions resolutions passed during the last three years.
The most important decision facing the U.S. and other countries is thus to decide what kind of sanctions would have the most significant impact on the Iranian authorities. In other words, our primary goal must be to find the most effective strategy toward Iran that will resolve the crisis on our terms and peacefully.
There are proposals for sanctions resolutions being debated in the Congress and wider public. I agree that the time has come for the U.S. and others to threaten much tougher sanctions on the Iranian regime.
My main recommendation for this committee and the Congress, however, is to permit the President maximum flexibility and maneuverability as he deals with an extraordinarily difficult and complex situation in Iran and in discussions with the international group of countries considering sanctions. It would be unwise to tie the President's hands in legislation when it is impossible to know how the situation will develop in the coming months.
The most effective sanctions against Iran, in my view, would be those that are multilateral and not unilateral and those that the President could decide to either implement or waive, depending on events during the coming months. The most powerful signal to Ahmadinejad would be for Moscow and Beijing to stand alongside the U.S. in imposing collective sanctions rather than have the U.S. adopt its own way forward, absent consultation and agreement with our international partners.
It makes sense that the search for an effective sanctions regime should include initiatives (such as energy imports by Iran) that will strike at the heart of the Iranian government's strength. Senator Bayh and others have produced creative ideas for more forceful sanctions against Iran. It stands to reason that a much more aggressive sanctions regime would likely have a more powerful impact on the thinking of the government in Iran in the months ahead.
Still, my strong advice is to give the President the independence and flexibility he will surely need to negotiate successfully the twists and turns of this volatile issue.
As many Congressional leaders have stated, we must negotiate with Iran from a position of strength. The President would be wise to set a limited timetable for any discussions with Iran. He should be ready to walk away if progress is not visible in a reasonable period of time. He should also agree on the automaticity of sanctions with Russia and China, in particular, before any talks begin. In other words, Moscow and Beijing should assure the U.S. that they will sanction if the talks fail. China and Russia have acted unhelpfully by continuing to trade and sell arms to Tehran as it thumbed its nose at the international community. If President Obama is to offer talks to Tehran, it is only reasonable for China and Russia to pledge to join us in draconian sanctions on Iran should the talks break down.
In this charged and unpredictable environment, with the stakes so high for American interests, it will be very important for the U.S. to keep all options on the table-meaning the U.S. should reserve the right to employ every option, including the use of force, to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear weapons power. This marriage of diplomacy with the threat of force is essential to send a convincing signal to Iran that it must choose to negotiate soon.
While there is no guarantee that negotiations will work, the Obama Administration's diplomatic approach has several real advantages for the U.S.
First, it may be the only way we will ever know if there is a reasonable chance for a peaceful outcome to the crisis with Iran. Second, a negotiation may be effective in slowing down Iran's nuclear research as a pause or freeze in uranium enrichment would be a logical demand of the U.S. and its partners if the talks continued for any length of time. Third, negotiations would serve to isolate and pressure the Iranian regime in the international arena.
Finally, we will be no worse off if we try diplomacy and fail. In fact, we will be stronger. We will be far more likely to convince China and Russia to join us in sanctions.
I have one final thought to offer to the committee today. We will not be well served if we allow the debate in our own country to be reduced to-negotiation or war-with Iran.
Should negotiations fail, stronger sanctions, not war, are the next logical step. And should sanctions fail, President Obama would face a difficult choice between using force or seeking to build a containment regime against Iran. While the stakes are high, there is nothing inevitable about war between the U.S. and Iran.
This is an extraordinary time in the history of the Iran nuclear issue. The Iranian government has been weakened by the national and international furor over its dishonest handling of the elections and the protests that followed. We should seek to weaken it further by the threat of unprecedented sanctions. Those sanctions are most likely to be agreed by the leading nations of the world if we try diplomacy and negotiations first.
What we learned from watching the people of Iran demand more liberty and a better government when they took to the streets is that Iran is not a monolithic country. Instead, it is a remarkably diverse nation in ethnic, religious, regional and ideological terms.
Now that it is apparent to the whole world that Iran is a society in crisis and a country fundamentally divided, we should look at our own long-term options in a new light.
We should reflect on the complex set of choices available to us as we seek to prevent a nuclear Iran in the short term and build, at some point in the future, a better and more peaceful relationship with the Iranian people.
Now is therefore not the time, in my judgment, for the U.S. to consider a military approach to this dilemma. Our interests will be far better served if the U.S. uses its diplomatic skill and dexterity to lead an international coalition to make an ultimatum to a weakened and despotic regime agree to negotiations quickly or face a renewed international sanctions effort that will weaken the regime further.
We have the upper hand with Iran for the time being. We should seek to keep it. And, we should still believe that diplomacy might yet produce an ultimately peaceful resolution of this dispute without recourse to war.

When the day was complete and all the signed letters of intent had been received, UC football coach Butch Jones could sit back, reflect on the past two months and then get back to work almost immediately.
"With the structure of getting our staff here, playing in the late bowl and having a couple dead periods of recruiting sandwiched in there, it made it extremely challenging," Jones said after today's recruiting rundown presser. "But I can't say enough in the job our staff did in assembling this class. We're very excited about the potential of it. (But) we're still going to continue to recruit for this class. There are some area needs that we would like to be filled. We're still looking to recruit this class and then we'll move onto the class of 2011."
But for the moment - and maybe only for this very moment - he could showcase to the assembled media the 22 members of the 2010 recruiting class, a mixture of Brian Kelly and Butch Jones recruits, and be proud of the work he and his assistant coaches accomplished in the first seven weeks of their tenure.
illustrate that point, Jones pulled out his staff's itinerary from the first
full week of January. On Jan. 6, the assistants that remained at Central
Michigan helped coach the Chippewas to a victory against
"That's the whirlwind we've been through," Jones said. "This process was approached with meticulous attention to detail. It was finding the right individual that fits our profile, individuals who are representing the C. We made no promises, no guarantees. The only thing that was guaranteed was to compete for a top-10 football program on a daily basis. To re-recruit a class in a short period of time, that has a lot of challenges. We were forced to build relationships in a short period of time. We take great pride in the developmental business. We're going to teach our players to reach their potential."
More than
a couple of the newest Bearcats, though, already have impressed people around
the country with their talent. Guys like quarterback Munchie Legaux, who's
ranked as the No. 12 dual threat quarterback by rivals.com and who committed to
the Bearcats late Tuesday night after Legeaux's high school basketball game in
It was an especially key get late in the recruiting season because the Bearcats are in dire need quarterbacks - they only have three left in the system, junior Zach Collaros, junior Chazz Anderson, and sophomore Brendon Kay.
"He came
up on his visit and fell in love with the place," Jones said. "He's an
individual with high character. But we don't have to beg anybody to come to the
Legaux, while watching the Sugar Bowl, apparently was wearing a Florida Gators T-shirt. "We wanted to make sure we got that corrected," Jones said.
Another key element of this recruiting class was the former Central Michigan's staff familiarity with quarterback Cody Kater (from Montague, Mich.) and receiver Montrel Robinson (from Southfield, Mich.) - both of whom had attended CMU camps in previous years that were run by Jones and his staff. Those prior relationships helped ease the pain of losing former UC commits Luke Massa (to Notre Dame) and Dominique Brown (to Louisville).
"Recruiting is about relationships, and the relationships we had formed with Kater and Montrel, those are basically year-long relationships," Jones said. "There are so many things that go into a recruitment of a young man and the bonds that you form. Sometimes people look at these kids as property instead of as human beings. The relationship process was big with those two."
I also asked him if the coaches felt like they needed to make a big splash with this year's recruiting class so they could prove to the national recruits and pundits that they actually could recruit on a national level.
"No, I trust my coaches and I trust myself," Jones said. "It's all about the evaluating process. We don't get caught up in who's recruiting who or if he's a one-star or two-star or three-star recruit. The last time I checked we went to the Orange Bowl and the Sugar Bowl, and our recruiting classes have been middle to last in the Big East conference. We're just looking for the best players that fit our system and the best players we can develop."

Mornings with the Mayor
Face to Face Communications Program
"Accessibility is key to local government and the Mornings with the Mayor program allows residents to express their views, ask questions and provide feedback on issues of concern."
LAKELAND, FL (November 19, 2010) - Mayor Gow Fields invites local residents to attend the next Mornings with the Mayor event on Monday, December 13, 2010 at the Florida Presbyterian Homes located at 16 Lake Hunter Drive. The event will start at 8:00 a.m. with a $5.00 breakfast buffet. Mayor Fields will make his remarks and take questions from the audience at 8:30 a.m.
Those wishing to enjoy the $5.00 breakfast buffet must make reservations with Florida Presbyterian Homes Dining Room Hostess (phone: 863/577-6025) by Friday, December 10, 2010. Parking is available on the grass strip between Lake Hunter Drive and Lake Hunter directly across from the Dining Room. Parking signs will be posted in the area.
Mayor Fields said, "Accessibility is one of the keys to local government and Mornings with the Mayor provides the opportunity for our citizens to share their views, ask questions and provide feedback on issues that are directly affecting them." He added, "Our first three events were very successful with about 40 residents attending each event. I look forward to spending valuable face to face time with our residents listening to the concerns that they feel are facing our community."
This program allows residents an informal and comfortable forum in which to meet with the Mayor to talk about issues, ask questions, voice concerns and offer comments or suggestions. Mayor Fields said, "It's also an excellent way for us to gather candid feedback about how people feel things are going in our City; what amenities they particularly enjoy, areas they feel could use improvement, or what they'd like to see in the future."

Take on big rivers and big fish with more success. Our private spey-casting lesson offers a great opportunity to learn useful techniques plus plenty of one-on-one instruction.
Spey casting makes it easier to shoot line further than single-handed casting. This is especially useful when distance is needed and there's no room for making a backcast. This traditional casting method uses 11- to 15-foot, two-handed rods that peel line off the water's surface and whip it forward. It's growing in popularity, particularly with salmon and steelhead fishermen. During your one-on-one lesson, our expert instructors will take you step by step through the various spey casts, helping you become proficient in each technique. You'll learn how to switch, double spey, snake roll, single spey, circle spey and snap-T.
You'll have ample time to practice each cast with your instructor, who will guide you in the best and most effective practices for enjoying this exciting style of fishing.
L.L.Bean does not usually cancel events due to inclement weather. However, we reserve the right to cancel an event at any time due to severe weather, low enrollment or other concerns. If L.L.Bean cancels your event, you will receive a full refund for the cost of your reservation.

Short answer: no.
Too many variables; manufacturing tolerances between the gun's parts, differences in ammunition, how a person grips the handgun, etc. To verify point-of-impact, you really must shoot it.
It's also important to shoot it for other reasons, like verifying the weapon/ammo combination is reliable. Some guns don't "like" certain kinds of ammo, and the only way to make sure your gun will work with the ammo you've selected is to shoot it. Some folks are very concerned about reliability, and will not carry a handgun for self-defense until they have fired 100 or more shots of the ammo they intend to carry, with no stoppages of any kind. I've even seen revolvers have problems with some kinds of ammo; they are not immune to jamming, it's just less likely with a revolver's design.
The last reason may be the most important one: most bullets missing the target (misses) aren't caused by the gun's sights being off-center, or the ammo not matching the sights. Most misses are caused by poor shooting skills, such as "jerking" or "slapping" the trigger, which cause the gun to move off-target at the last moment before the bullet leaves the barrel. Even if your sights are perfect and your ammo matched to the sights, you can still miss if you don't shoot properly, which means if you want to reliably hit a target, you need to practice your shooting skills. Which requires firing the handgun.
Find a safe place, wear eye and ear protection, and shoot it. End of sermon.

Cemetery notes and/or description:
The name has been shortened to Union Cemetery but the actual name is Union Graham.
Although Union/Graham Cemetery now refers to the Cemetery located at 433 N. Michigan in Winfield Kansas, the cemetery actually started out as two separate cemeteries. Over the years the names were combined, but burial records are still kept separate for the two cemeteries. Limestone block markers have been installed over the last several years to help identify and differentiate the two old cemeteries.
• Graham Cemetery established May 20th, 1872 under the supervision of the Winfield Cemetery Association.
• Union Cemetery established February 28, 1898 under the supervision of the Cowley Union Cemetery Association.
• Owned and operated by the City of Winfield since 1918.
• G.W. Graham was appointed the first City of Winfield Cemetery Sexton in 1918.

Mariners beat Angels in opener
Justin Smoak smacked a three-run homer among his two hits and scored three times as the Mariners defeated the LA Angels of Anaheim, 10-3, in the season opener for both teams.
After ranking near the bottom in nearly every hitting category in 2013 following a 71-91 campaign, Eric Wedge was dismissed as manager and Lloyd McClendon was brought in. Seattle also signed second baseman Robinson Cano away from the New York Yankees to the richest contract in team history at 10 years and $240 million.
Cano, who hit .429 with 13 RBI in 17 games during spring training, went 2- for-4 with a run scored in his Mariners debut.
Felix Hernandez (1-0) struck out 11 and allowed three runs -- two earned -- on four hits and a walk over six innings for Seattle.
Mike Trout belted a two-run shot for the Angels, who were 78-84 in 2013.
Jered Weaver (0-1) fanned six and surrendered four runs -- three earned -- on six hits and three walks to garner the loss.
The Angels led 3-2 before the Mariners plated a pair in the seventh to go in front.
Dustin Ackley hit a one-out single and came home on Mike Zunino's triple to tie the game. Fernando Salas then replaced Weaver on the mound and Abraham Almonte ripped a double into left-center to bring home Zunino and give the M's a 4-3 edge.
Seattle's six-run ninth added insurance. Smoak cracked a three-run homer to right and Ackley hit a three-run triple to make it 10-3.
Earlier, Trout's two-run shot to left staked the Halos to a 2-0 first-inning lead.
Michael Saunders' sacrifice fly in the second got Seattle on the board, but LA got the run back in the third on Albert Pujols' RBI double.
Kyle Seager's run-scoring double in the sixth cut the Seattle deficit to a run.
Game Notes
Seattle finished 4-for-9 with runners in scoring position, while the Halos were 0-for-5 with RISP.

Hello everyone,
For the past few years I have been hunting south central NoDak. Hunting has been alright but we have just never hit it right. We have just started venturing into field hunting with mixed results. Next year we are looking at pushing our hunt back a week, however this will put us at risk of being out there after freeze up. I was just wondering were in the northern half of SD would be a good place to start looking as a back up. I'm not expecting anyone to give out secret spots or anything maybe just a town or 2 that have good hunting in the vacinity and I can do the leg work from there.

This assumes that you can get queens early in spring. If this is possible you can split strong hives (for ease 9 frames with bees)into three splits.
