What was once a shortage has turned into an abundance when it comes to influenza vaccine at the Wayne County Health Department and area physician offices.
The health department is sitting on more than 1,000 doses of the vaccine. That is the result of late shipments and the public's belief flu season is nearly over, said Sallie Bair, a nurse at the health department who oversees flu vaccination clinics.
"In 14 of the last 18 years, the records indicate that flu season peaked in January or later," Bair said. "There really isn't any way to predict or say if we're seeing it locally. My real concern is that people would still be susceptible if they do not have the vaccine.
"By the time we identify that it is here, it will be too late."
Wayne and Holmes counties were hit by a flu outbreak just about this time last year. So far this year, the area hasn't been hit, said Dr. Bill Elliot, chief of the emergency department at Wooster Community Hospital.
"We really haven't seen a big influx of influenza, all the high fevers, aching, coughing, that type of stuff," Elliot said. "It hasn't been quite as prominent this year as what it was over the past couple of years."
Elliot said he attributes that to the cold, snowy winter Ohio has experienced so far.
"When that happens, you don't see the big outbreaks," he said, "because less people get out and around each other, coughing on each other. That is when you get a lot of sick people at one time."
Despite the fact the flu has not hit the area yet, Elliot said it would be wise for people to still get the vaccination.
Bair said people should check with their physician to see if the vaccine is available.
The vaccine is available at the Wayne County Health Department, 203 S. Walnut St., during walk-in hours: Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9-10 a.m.; Monday from 1-6:30 p.m.; and Wednesday and Friday from 1-4 p.m.
The cost is $10, but Medicare and Primetime health plans are accepted.

SmartBar logoSource: Museum Victoria
On March 1, Melbourne Museum will be presenting SmartBar – an evening event for adults featuring talks by museum scientists and interactive experiences.
As part of the event, the dissection of a road-killed bird will occur to demonstrate how Museum Victoria researchers study these sorts of animals that are brought in by concerned members of the public. This process increases our understanding of animal health, diet, welfare and conservation. The information we gain from this type of research is critical for our understanding of issues that impact Victorian fauna such as climate change and human activities.
SmartBar will provide Museum Victoria a chance to introduce people to the work of the museum, first hand. Beyond our exhibitions, we undertake important and ongoing research to learn more about our fauna, with a view to helping inform its conservation into the future. At SmartBar, we're giving people a chance to learn about some of that work and meet some of our staff in an informal setting. We're hoping this attracts an audience who would not normally attend Melbourne Museum so they too can become passionate, informed and respectful of Victoria and Australia's wildlife.
In earlier communications we described the event in a way which was misinterpreted by some readers. We apologise for any confusion or anxiety this may have caused and would like to thank everyone who has given us feedback on the SmartBar event.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Updates on what's happening at Melbourne Museum, the Immigration Museum, Scienceworks, the Royal Exhibition Building, and beyond.
I also have the problem

HSCC is a series of successful annual meetings dedicated to research in embedded reactive systems involving the interplay between symbolic/discrete and continuous behaviors. Academic as well industrial researchers are invited to exchange information on the latest developments of applications and theoretical advancements in the analysis, control, optimization, and implementation of hybrid systems.
HSCC conferences are held each year as a part of the Cyber Physical Systems Week (CPSWeek) which is the collocated cluster of four conferences: HSCC, RTAS (Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium), IPSN (International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks), ICCPS (International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems) and several workshops. Through CPSWeek, the four major events will have a shared registration process, joint invited speakers and poster sessions, and joint social events. The previous editions of HSCC were held in Berkeley, USA (1998), Nijmegen, The Netherlands (1999), Pittsburgh, USA (2000), Rome, Italy (2001), Palo Alto, USA (2002), Prague, Czech Republic (2003), Philadelphia, USA (2004), Zurich, Switzerland (2005), Santa Barbara, USA (2006), Pisa, Italy (2007), St. Louis, USA (2008), San Francisco, USA (2009), Stockholm, Sweden (2010), Chicago, USA (2011), Beijing, China (2012), Philadelphia, USA (2013), Berlin, Germany (2014), Seattle, USA (2015), and Vienna, Austria (2016).

Heeere's your sign...

What???? No Harley guys chiming in about "the best bikes in the world!!"? I've had to listen to that again all bloody weekend here in Kelowna.
So, I'm seeing alot of "favourite bikes" out there, but not much explanation why it was significant in the grand theme of things.
"Honda = Boring, Suzuki = Wannabes, Yamaha = Poser, Ducati = Overated, BMW = Compensating, Aprilia = Insecure, Buell = BCIT business... go faKOffee." - PUREVIL
The VF (R) line as it was the birth place of the current perimeter style frame.
The FZ line as it brought in 5 valve Geneisis style forward slant block.
Gsxr family tree because they rolled out on radial tires first (someone correct me if I'm wrong here)
i said the interceptor because i think it was the first track/road bike mass produced , and the way honda dealt with the "cam" issues was stellar
listen to me or i will eat you're bacon
wmrc #9
i said cb750 because the engine paved the way for high performance inline 4's that still dominate today. without it, who knows, and it was considered a sportbike back then and they even raced a few of them....
What was the first sport bike with TC and ABS? That's a huge step in a direction from which we will never come back from.
Rouge and Cream. Just like the gladius.
In the list here the 2 from Honda. The little one that brought the masses in North America to 2-wheeled transport is for sure a milestone. And the big one that was a turn key superbike even though it may not look like one to today's riders.
Maybe if you narrow the field to the last 30 years you'll get some better feedback.
And for all the Vincent fans, checkout the Brough Superior.
But also a good point is how far back are we going?
I think you'd have to short list the turning points in the game.
Definetly multi fours, perimeter frames, radial tires, out board cam chains / gears, forward slant blocks, traction control?
what else?
i mentioned the 'blade already, but it did not bring raw power to the game, the literbikes of it's day had more juice(gsxr 1100, fzr1000) but were heavy pigs. awesome bike, had one with a vfr swingarm, big bore, head work, fcr carbs, ram airbox, and a full exhaust(130 at the wheel). i mentioned the '01 gsxr 1000 cuz it was an utter beast of a bike and upped the ante big time when the class was still relatively useful with 125-130 at the wheel. i remember the first one i rode, i was a bit skerred after reading all the reviews. there hasn't been that much of a gap by one single manufacturer in a long time, the current zx10 and s1000 combined recently upped the ante. i'd add the panigale but having a couple extra cc's to get the numbers shouldn't count, kinda buell-esque in a way.

I think it'd have to be the Honda CB750... not only because it gave the world the prefered layout for sporty bike design, but also because it was the ultimate iteration of the CB series, which itself was hugely influential as the first large-scale series of motorcycles that introduced the public to the notion that motorcycles didn't need to A) leak oil and gas all over your garage floor, B) require maintenance before and after every ride, and C) be ridden by people that looked like they were a Marlon Brando stunt double from The Wild Ones.
But as much as I think the CB750 probably deserves the title due to its combination of a groundbreaking design and huge popularity, I would personally count the old Henderson KL as pretty significant as it had a few interesting engineering features and really showed the world why four cylinder engines work so well in motorcycles... and they are, in my opinion, some of the best looking motorcycles out there. Also, I'd stick the RC51 into my top three, as it's the last bike I can think of that was developed from the ground up as a race bike, and then sold to the public at a reasonable price. It's also the first sportbike bike that I ever really wanted.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

race discrimination | sex discrimination | workplace bullying | sham redundancy | settlement agreement
Individuals who have been discriminated against or who have received unfair treatment due to a disability may be eligible to receive compensation from an employer. If you think your employment was wrongfully terminated or you were treated unfairly, one of our disability discrimination solicitors can intervene on your behalf and negotiate a settlement with your employer for either reinstatement and/or compensation. Our disability discrimination solicitors deal with employment compensation claims using the no win no fee scheme otherwise known as a conditional fee arrangement. A previously agreed percentage of any damages settlement is the basis for legal fees due under a no win no fee agreement. If the solicitor doesn't win compensation for you then you aren't obligated to pay anything at all.
Disability Discrimination Act 1995
The Disability Discrimination Act of 1995 defines a disability as "an impairment of mental or physical abilities, which has a considerable and continuous adverse effect on the capacity to carry-on routine daily actions." Employers may not single out people with disabilities, meaning they must be treated as equals in all areas similarly to their co-workers who are non-disabled. Employers and service providers must provide disabled workers with the same opportunity for promotions, increased responsibility, work assignments, access to facilities or services, the ability to buy goods and not impeded the liberty to buy or rent property if appropriate. The Disability Discrimination Act additionally includes provisions for people who suffer from multiple sclerosis, HIV, AIDS, limited sight and serious deformation.
A prudent disability discrimination solicitor must weigh or contemplate the following before negotiating a compensation claim. It must be shown that a long-term condition exists that:
- is anticipated to last at least 12 months or has lasted 12 months or more
- in the case of an individual having less than 12 months anticipated lifespan then the condition must be expected to be prevalent until death
Impairments that have an effect or have been determined to have an effect on the individual's capacity to do regular or routine functions include:
- use of hands
- mobility
- memory
- the skill of concentrating, learning or understanding
- physical bearings
- speech, hearing or eyesight
- the capacity to lift typical objects in the work, which includes carrying or moving
- continence (control of bladder or bowel movements)
- being capable of observing physical danger
Although not specifically endorsed by the legislation, physical impairment stemming from one or more of the following condirions may be treated as a disability in rare cases:
- alcohol addiction
- cigarette addiction
- non-prescription medication dependency
- voyeurism
- exhibitionism
- kleptomania
- pyromania
- body piercings
- tattoos
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 indicates that an employer or service provider may not in the case of a disabled person:
- discriminate
- treat unfairly
- harass
- victimise a person who takes or assists in a discrimination claim
An employer must carry out "reasonable adjustments" to the workplace to include:
- structural modifications to buildings
- supply of appropriate equipment
- transferring to a previously modified workplace
- changing hours of work in order to make it easier to enter or exit
Employee Rights
As the landscape of business changes and expands, so does employment law. Over the last thirty years employee rights have been better defined and have become substantially stronger. Trade union developments together with the UK's participation in the European Union have enhanced workers' rights.
Previously, employment law was usually established through changes in common law. The common law is most often changed by decisions made in court cases which may made the process slow and sometimes cumbersome. Most changes to employment law and the assurance of employee rights are now enacted directly by Parliament through the European Union. The most significant legislation is the Employment Rights Act 1996 which has meaningful applications in all facets of workplace rights and responsibilities as follows:-
Guaranteed Wages
The number one consideration of employees is usually wages. The very purpose of accepting employment is to earn a wage, pay the bills and feed the family. A worker agrees to trade hours, providing a service for wages and the basic right of an employee is the conservation of wages. Under the Employment Rights Act 1995, employees have a "guaranteed payment". Employers are forbidden from making unauthorised deductions from an employee's pay.
Time off Work
Quite possibly the second most fundamental right guaranteed under the legislation is the entitlement to time off. Maternity leave is one such entitlement that cannot be the basis of termination or dismissal which would be a case of unlawful pregnancy discrimination. There are also guidelines for documented medical problems, training and public duties.
Dismissal and Redundancy
Two subjects examined in the Employment Rights Act 1996 are redundancy and dismissal. Unfair dismissal takes place when an employer ends the employment contract of an individual without a legal reason to do so. Minimum and maximum redundancy compensation is also outlined in the Act.
Employment Tribunal
The Employment Rights Act 1996 outlines the measures used to resolve conflicts involving employee rights. It furnishes wronged employees with the opportunity to have their grievances judged by the Employment Tribunal. A "jurisdiction list", which can be picked up from a local tribunal office outlines the application procedures.

Front license plate holder - black or body color?
My 550i M-Sport came with a white one matching the rest of my car...My X5 came with a black one NOT matching my car and my SA is telling me that you have to get them painted to match the body color. Is this accurate?
I opted to just not put the front plate on, and so far in the past three years haven't had an issue running without it.
3 Attachment(s)
See images:
That's what I did for the 650 after I got busted for no front license plate.
Plate bracket on the X5 is unpainted but since there is unpainted black trim all around it, no biggie.
Leave it black. The plate is an abomination- why 'honor it' visually with the paint treatment? I think painting odds and ends (flares, mud flaps, running boards, etc, etc,) all detract from the lines of the car body...IMO

PURELL Instant Hand Sanitizing Wipes
I think these are even better than the gel alone because they don't leave your hands so dry and it feels like you're getting a more thorough cleaning with the cloth. They're small packets, great on the go and you can't over-pour and have excess gel everywhere...I highly recommend!
I carry this stuff around everywhere. You never know when you are going to run into a dirty college kid and need to douse yourself in this stuff.Tags: health, beauty, personal care, aloe, clean, cleaners, germs, hand sanitizers, SanitaryAdded 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com

Taboo-breaking Saudi films spur debate in staid kingdom
By Asma Alsharif
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) - An important Saudi official riding in a chauffered Rolls Royce unspools a wire fence across previously unclaimed land. "It's mine now," he says.
The scene, in a YouTube spoof video satirising a new state agency to combat corruption, has attracted 2.2 million viewers in a strait-laced Islamic kingdom where Saudi online comedians are tackling once-taboo subjects - and gaining a wide following.
Another video satirises a prince for mishandling anti-corruption demonstrations, while mobile phone footage of the so-called morality police harassing a family in a shopping mall went viral this year with over 180,000 hits. The overall impact of such vignettes cannot be measured, but in Saudi Arabia, where around 70 percent of the population is under the age of 30, and where Internet penetration is around 40 percent, social media are driving public debate on a host of subjects that were once seen as strictly off-limits. "(Our) team is very careful not to cross the red lines and instead reflects all the issues that have caused controversy or debate that have been discussed in the media," said Lama Sabri, a writer for "Aaltayer", which translates roughly as "On The Fly", one of the popular YouTube shows.
"The program also uses comedy to make fun of the existence of these red lines," she added.
Saudi Arabia is a monarchy with no elected parliament, where the most senior positions are occupied by high-ranking royals, some of whom also have extensive business interests. The media is censored and reporters who cross unofficial red lines can face the sack, hefty fines or even prison sentences. But bloggers and contributors to online forums now openly discuss social ills, government inefficiency and corruption, while a Twitter user who ridicules the royal family has attracted 250,000 followers. "The Internet has always provided a space for Saudis to express themselves freely in unprecedented ways, and this (Twitter) is just the latest platform," said Ahmed al-Omran, a well-known Saudi blogger. "People are becoming more vocal and critical on Twitter."
Social media helped to catalyse the political unrest that convulsed many Arab countries last year, mobilising street protests that overturned regimes and led to mass insurrection across North Africa and the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia, where the king is broadly popular, escaped that surge of public anger and analysts say the growth of more forceful debate is unlikely to send crowds into the streets.

Here's a fact right from the progressive horses' petard to smack little submissive pippy around with for awhile:
Even CNN couldn't hide the fact that Obamacrap is supported by only 43 percent of the public, their own poll shows.
43 percent - that's about what Obama's approval ratings are for the time being. Both are spiraling downward.

I know lots of people with insurance who have died. Socialist utopias like this have been tried before and failed and when this experiment (which it is) fails well all I can say I sure am glad I don't live in a city like New York or LA or Atlanta or Dallas because these cities will be waste lands. You do realize there are some who have not paid attention and think this is free. There are those that think only certain people have to pay, so they can reap their benefits. And there are those who think they are entitled because their ancestors were slaves, and they think our half black president is going to take care of them personally... You know its true why keep denying it. Have fun I wont be joining in I will probably be arrested and be a political prisoner and lose everything I own because all I want is to be free from the burden of government intrusion.

The Obama administration has missed dozens of its own deadlines for implementing ObamaCare, according to a Congressional Research Service report that suggests the recent delay of a key insurance mandate is hardly an outlier.
Just wait until you have a little problem and need to call whoever and get the old line "please listen carefully for our menu has changed" and then navigate through a series of different departments and being put on hold just to here "your call is important to us if wish to talk to a representative please stay on the line and your call will be taken in the order received we estimate your wait time 3 hours" its going to happen you all know it you just wont admit the truth.

I don't suppose that many of you have heard BHO talk about the American Dream a term well over used. Well I heard him and what he said was basically that all of our dreams are the same, we cant go around with and individual dream its a collective dream that we all have a stake in. So BHOs American Dream is a socialist utopia where we all have the same dream and if you dare try to stray from that dream and go out on your own woe is you and you must be silenced.
And of course his dream is the government owns everything and you get to stand in line and kiss the ring for scraps.

An Investment Opinion
by Dale Wettlaufer
Creating Wealth
Have you ever read Graham and Dodd's Security Analysis? As an introduction to investing, it's pretty tough. It's dense with information and insights and one must be at least semi-fluent in accounting and financial vocabulary to really get the most out of it.
As a completely viable alternative for beginning to intermediate investors who are searching for a good framework for looking at the investing world, The Intelligent Investor is Graham's successful attempt at boiling down to a more friendly form many of the concepts found in Security Analysis.
Until now, investors and business owners who want to understand Economic Value Added have gone straight to G. Bennett Stewart III's The Quest for Value: The EVA Management Guide. One of Amazon.com's readers submitted a review of the book to that site saying "Very Useful, Conceptually perfect. This book takes you step by step through the direct link between corporate performance and valuation." Conceptually "perfect" might be pushing it a bit, but the consulting firm of Stern Stewart & Co. has put together a very tight way of understanding business conceptually and practically. The company's way of looking at the world, which takes into account the interaction of all three financial statements, is a much better way of understanding corporate performance and valuation than just looking at earnings per share growth. EPS growth in the short term doesn't mean much if you can't quantify the economic resources needed to accomplish that growth.
The problem with Stern Stewart's original approach to the explanation of EVA is that it can be a pretty heavy metal for beginning and intermediate investors, which is a shame, since beginning investors should be introduced to this subject matter before letting tangential issues dominate their investment thinking. For instance, margins alone are tangential to the whole. They are not the whole. Beginning investors don't learn early enough about capital management, leverage, and accounting distortions -- why inventory turns, asset turns, financing decisions, and correcting distortions introduced by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles all feed into the whole of running businesses and assessing businesses.
Happily, Stern Stewart & Co. Vice-President Al Ehrbar has written a better introduction to EVA, titled EVA: The Real Key to Creating Wealth. Ehrbar says many of the same things Stewart says in his book, he just says them more clearly in a more succinct overall presentation of the concepts. Perhaps the most important concept that EVA can introduce to investors that isn't found in many valuation methods is the fact that equity is not free. Many explanations of valuing companies look at the cost of debt but don't provide a discussion of the cost of equity, which is kind of like learning about arms in anatomy class and never discussing legs.
While Bennett Stewart III's book on EVA is like advanced financial anatomy, Al Ehrbar's book is more an introduction that leads you on to Stewart's more definitive work. It also stands alone quite well, just as The Intelligent Investor stands on its own as well as serving as a prelude to Security Analysis.
In addition to introducing the calculation of EVA and its significance for both investors and managers, EVA: The Real Key to Creating Wealth also contains some excellent case studies on the companies that have used the EVA financial management system. The most famous of these is Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO), whose legendary CEO Roberto Goizueta said in 1995: "We are very pleased to have been one of the first on board the EVA wagon. EVA has given our people a very useful tool for running their individual business units and a sound principle to guide their daily behavior.
Other case studies of companies that have adopted EVA successfully covered in the book include SPX Corp. (NYSE: SPW), Herman Miller (Nasdaq: MLHR), Equifax (NYSE: EFX), Federal Mogul (NYSE: FMO), and Centura Banks (NYSE: CBC). All help readers see the the theory put into practice. If you are looking for a book that explains how EVA works, how it has been applied by real companies, and how an understanding of EVA can help you improve your analysis of companies, Al Ehrbar's work is the better choice for those closer to the beginner's end of the spectrum.

Hi see you from Michigan, I have been looking at the same gun, you should listen to the podcast http://proarmspodcast.com/2010/07/11...sig-cartridge/ they do real good job covering the 357 Sig.
This is a discussion on Glock 33-.357SIG within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; well im looking to get a glock 33,357 sig.i would really like some imput on said gun and caliber before i spend my money on ...
well im looking to get a glock 33,357 sig.i would really like some imput on said gun and caliber before i spend my money on it.any imput would be greatly appreciated.have to make up my mind by tuesday9-14-10.thank you.
Hi see you from Michigan, I have been looking at the same gun, you should listen to the podcast http://proarmspodcast.com/2010/07/11...sig-cartridge/ they do real good job covering the 357 Sig.
Can't give you much input since I don't have one and never shot the 357SIG in a Glock. You must have some idea in mind yourself. The caliber? I might like it myself.....if I had some ammo, and extra magazines. The Glock sub-compacts are easy going for those who have a feel for them. I figure the 357SIG as in between the 9mm and the 40S&W. Actually what it is.....40S&W case necked down to 9mm. Bottleneck cartridge that has a niche, and quite possibly a compromise between the 9mm and 40S&W.
My "input" on the Glock 33? It's a Glock. You won't go wrong there. Ammo supply....that's going to be your biggest concern IMO.
Why is it you "have to make up your mind" before.........?
Glock, nuff said. .357 sig is a good round, but for me I just don't see that vast of an improvement over a 9mm +p in a short barrel. You have to take in the extra cost of the round, muzzle flip, and less capacity. Everything's a trade off game. Would I carry one, sure. Would it be my first choice, probably not. Do what works for you.
Better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.
I love 357sig and 10mm out of glocks and you can get a g27 barrel and shot .40cal out of you g33.
It's no secret that I don't care for glocks so I won't comment on that part.
As to the .357Sig round all I can say is YES SIR.
To all that want to compare it to 9mm I type, you need to shoot one before you type. You only make yourself look foolish.
Our local PD and Sheriff's Dept carry the G31. The caliber itself is very much like the .357 mag in ballistics. The felt recoil is much like a snappy 9mm +p+. The main reason our local coppers chose the round is the fact that it is ballistically sound and very odd regionally. Most people in this area do not carry and shoot the round. If there is a police involved shooting it is much easier to tell who shot what. The Federal Air Marshals and US Secret Service also issue this round in Sig Sauer pistols. The fact that it is Glock and what seems to be a very adequate round would not steer me away from it at all. Good luck.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
went to the local gun store in the area,found a gently used g33 for 400 bucks.told them to hold it till tuesday,when i could get them a deposit.thats why the time line.i have a g30 and a keltec p-11 now.just wanted some imput on the .357 sig round .dont want to spend money on something i basicially already have if its not"all that much better"priced ammo,and its about the same or a little less than 45
I have a lone wolf 357sig barrel that I use in my G27. Very accurate round.
-SIG , it's What's for Dinner-
know your rights!
"If I walk in the woods, I feel much more comfortable carrying a gun. What if you meet a bear in the woods that's going to attack you? You shoot it."
{Bernhard Goetz}
It is a very good round. I have a 27 and kicked around the idea of getting a .357 sig barrel. But Glock just bumped up the price on their barrels (I won't buy aftermarket) and the round is hard to find and expensive. But the 33 is an awesome weapon. I have fired my 27 with the .357 sig barrel and it wasn't as snappy as some might lead you to believe. It is managable.
If you get it, you might need to make your ammo orders online.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
I owned a G33 and sold it to get a g26 because of the price of the ammo, but it was a good gun and the .357 is good round. Please be aware
that the .357 sig is more prone to bullet set back and care should be given not to rechamber the same round too many times.
Zoe: "Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
Book: "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps."
Hopefully you've shot the caliber before and know what to expect.
I've only shot the .357 Sig once, in a Sig. A couple of oldtimer retired machinsts shoot them at the range I use. They use .40 cases for reloading. The .357 SIG isn't actually a .40 case. Reformed .40s will have a shorter neck than a SIG case. They say it's okay for range loads but they wouldn't use a .40 case for full loads.
I fired their pistols and found the recoil to be much like my .45ACP G30, and less than a .357 Mag. Again, these were reloads for range use. Yes, SIG ammo is a bit higher and less common than others, but not terriblely so and it's available. I would not let that stop me from purchasing one if I wished to. You can always opt for simple conversion to .40 or 9mm if you choose to do so.
The recoil may be more than you're used to, but the key there is "used to." A 9 mm has a lot more kick to someone who's only shot .22s and such. Few find the .357 SIG unmanageable with some practice. They are louder than some others calibers, but really, what caliber handgun do you shoot without wearing hearing protection? None, I hope.
Almost al calibers are prone to setback if the same round is repeatedly rechambered. I don't know why anyone would do that. My .45 ACP certainly will. I intentionally rechambered several brands of .45 ammo as a test and all but Win PDX1 suffered serious setback in ten rechamberings, the PDX1 only slightly.

I shot one last year and it's a monster! I really liked it. Very powerful. Reliable, too. Recoil wasn't as bad as I expected. People around you get younger when you fire it!
I've never been a big Glock fan, but fell in love with the .357 Sig round and now own a G32 and 33. Shoots like a laser.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.

3217 Tasting Notes
Sipdown! 989. Honestly had forgotten that I drank this a few weeks ago, but enjoyed it just as much today as previously. Nice creamy lime with a reasonably gentle black base. Not getting the bitterness that people have described, but that's likely because it's a bit on the old side. Anyhow, a solid tea if this is the flavour you want. If I wasn't so tea overloaded, it might be a nice change to have in my cupboard when I want a flavoured black, but something brighter and less caramel/chocolate.
Sipdown! 991. A baggie did not do this one justice. Still tempted to pick up a fresh ounce to see if that changes anything…. but do I really need to fall in love with another PTA blend?
Sipdown! 993. (I added in my not-yet-here Butiki teas). Anyways, I have declared today to be Sipdown day! I can only drink a tea if it results in a sipdown. So! First up is this tiny bit of Buttercream (my original sample, I believe?) from Awkward Soul! I think I might like Apple Custard a touch more, but they're definitely along the same lines of sweet, creamy, and chamomile. Yum.
Well, I enjoyed the second cup I've ever had of this… but it was travel-mugged, so I couldn't say much more than that I enjoyed it. Not sure if at the time, I realized it was an oolong…. so might have steeped it weirdly, possibly like a green (because it looks kind of like houjicha or something). Oh well!
Dry, this smells lovely, all nutty and rosy… but steeped, there's something poking out that I'm not liking. It smells a bit like cinnamon hearts… which is fine, but NOT anything like baklava to me. In fact… does baklava even typically contain cinnamon? If so, not very much. Anyhow, the flavour very sadly is pretty much as VariaTea described. Cinnamon water with a lingering sweetness that I don't overly care for. The aftertaste is a touch nutty, but cinnamon is incredibly overwhelming here, to the point that I can't taste oolong, rose, or really anything else. How unfortunate.
ETA: Second infusion I'm drinking cold… there's more nuttiness, but it still tastes like cinnamon hearts. What a disappointing blend.
Weird they went so heavy on the cinnamon. I still need to try this, but it definitely doesn't sound like baklava. I guess its Bubbie's 'special' version of baklava haha
Yeah, I agree, cinnamon would be kind of out of place here. But I'm still curious about this one. Always wanted a baklava tea. :)
Thanks for the offer, VariaTEA, but I'm planning on going to David's tomorrow to grab the new ones! :) Thankful for their 10g allowance at times like this.
I agree Fjellrev! I swoon over the baklava at Remedy Cafe, but this sounds like way too much cinnamon and way to little rose and honey. I still have to try it though. I wonder what its like iced?
Second cup decidedly not as good as the first. BUT. I also got the "bottom of the barrel", as in, the tea guide called for another bag of tea to put in after he took out my 24g. So, I mostly got coriander seeds. The aroma is still there, though, and a bit of the flavour, although the chamomile is a touch more overwhelming. I'm pretty sure that if I go back and get a bagful that's not from the bottom, it will be tastier, so I will probably do that and just mix the two. Annoying, but not the end of the world. 95% sure I'll get at least 100g of this one…
Yum. I'd had this a couple years ago when it first came out, and I recall enjoying it enough to have possibly bought more (don't recall whether I actually did, though). The last of the bag ended up living at my mom's place because she apparently liked it… except I just found out that it still exists, and is no longer a "like", so I will be collecting it at Christmas. It will be interesting to see how the two compare.
Anyhow, this is a tasty cup of minty, creamy, somewhat fruity goodness. Definitely mostly mint and cream, though. It's nice, because it's an herbal blend, yet there's no icky rooibos messing up the flavour (nor licorice, hibiscus, etc.). I don't usually like mint, but I DO like creamy mint and chocolate mint, so this is a hit. If I remember, I'll grab 25g or so of this before it's gone, just to have, because it's unique and tasty.
Sipdown! 987. Tasty pouchong, nice and vegetal and buttery, and lasts for a good number of infusions.
It's possible. I don't honestly pay much attention to prices since I'm just getting tiny bits, usually.


text: i just got an 86 c-10 truck with a 305 it seams to run good the guages say it has oil pressure and shows its not overheating. well i changed the oil it was just old and dirty and i went to put new oil in it and the oil cap had this white cream sort of film on it not covered with it and there was a little condensation inside the neck that the cap conects to. which has scared me quite a bit ive read on the internet some say its just condensation others say its leaking or blown head gasket what do yall think its not blowing white smoke, it doesn seam to run like crap the oil isnt chocolate milk or yet anyways i was thinking about just replacing the hea gaskets to be on the safe side but what does everybody else think ? any sugestions? thanks

This brings us then to the financial aspect of the national forest movement.
In our national forest there is an oak that first saw life in the year 1564.
That will be when every national forest is made a game preserve, and every forest ranger is made a game warden.
Many other cases could be cited from this and other national forest Districts.
Thus the average national forest comprises about one million acres of government lands.
"His mill is on national forest land, and we ought to try and save it," he said.
Prior use and occupancy of national forest lands for grazing purposes is the first and foremost requirement.
They must be as free to take up claims as if there wasn't no national forest.
The same spirit explains the furious outcry that miners are driven off the national forest land.
In the third place, with an Indian reservation on one side and a national forest on the other, it's bound to be lonely.

By Paul Gardner
An interesting game -- I'm talking about this past weekend's Red Bulls-L.A. Galaxy game. A 1-0 win for the Bulls, a win they probably didn't deserve, but a win they snatched at the very last moment of the game, pouncing on a bad mistake by the Galaxy's 39-year-old, and very experienced, Italian goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini.
Of course Cudicini should have come off his line to catch or punch Juninho's free kick. The ball was descending into the six-yard area, and that is surely goalkeeper's territory. Cudicini stayed put, even though he was not challenged or put under any sort of pressure by the Red Bulls, Tim Cahill leapt high -- something he's pretty good at -- and the Bulls got their goal.
Later, Galaxy coach Bruce Arena agreed -- Cudicini should have made a play on that ball. Coaches rarely criticize their goalkeepers, but even more surprising was to find the TV commentators -- ESPN's Adrian Healey and Taylor Twellman -- actually pointing out, on air, Cudicini's mistake.
All of which made Cahill the hero of the game -- but not for long, the way I saw it. The Bulls had played an OK sort of game but had not greatly threatened the Galaxy goal. In fact, particularly in the first half, the Galaxy had looked livelier and quicker; even in the second half, when the Bulls did improve, the Galaxy had the better chances -- which included a great opportunity which Robbie Keane -- inexcusably -- headed wide.
Cahill wrecked his hero status after the game when he let it be known that he didn't think much of the way that the Bulls had played: "They [the Galaxy] got too much time on the ball ..." he claimed, "I was like 'let's get into these guys. Let's see if they want a little bit of a battle' ... I wanted the intensity to be higher."
There are no prizes on offer for working out what Cahill really means with all that pussyfooting wordage. He wanted the Bulls to be more physical, to play a rougher, tougher game on the assumption that this would upset the Galaxy.
He was, apparently, already certain that the Galaxy weren't tough enough to take the heat, having already declared that the Galaxy "doesn't like to get roughed up." Just what Cahill's proof for that allegation is, I wouldn't know. But Cahill's statement should not go unnoticed -- particularly in the office of Peter Walton, the man who runs PRO, that body that oversees the referees.
Here is a player openly declaring that he wants his team to "get into" opponents and who talks of opponents being roughed up. This is not just wild talk -- Cahill has always been a rumble-tumble type player (his playing days with Everton in the English Premier League provide plenty of examples). I've no doubt he means what he says -- he wants more fouling, more physical play, from the Bulls. He enjoys his soccer most when it's physical, when it's a "bit of a battle."
He made no comment on what happened in the fifth minute of the game. That was when the Bulls' Juninho went in hard, high-footed and with his studs flashing, on the Galaxy's Juninho. Ugly. Galaxy-Juninho played on for a few more minutes, than had to leave the game. After just 10 minutes, the Galaxy had lost a key player, victim of exactly the sort of "get into them" play that Cahill finds so desirable.
I strongly believe that Cahill should be warned -- by MLS -- that his play will be watched for signs of thuggery. His play -- not his words. Watched by the referees, which is where Walton and his PRO setup come into the picture.
Cahill's call for opponents to be roughed up only makes sense if he believes the Bulls can get away with systematically rough play -- i.e. he must feel confident that MLS referees will allow it.
Well, you PRO People -- is he right? In the Bulls-Galaxy game that I'm talking about, the referee was Silviu Petrescu, whom Walton adjudged to have performed well enough last season to get the plum job of officiating the MLS Cup final.
But Petrescu saw nothing wrong with the challenge that knocked Galaxy-Juninho out of the game, did not even call a foul, never mind issue a card. My own observations on Petrescu tell me he is too permissive, and that he does not like issuing cards early in a game. A modus operandi that reduces the chances of Petrescu having to issue game-damaging reds or second-yellows.
Look at it another way: no foul called for a dangerously physical foul in the fifth minute, but a foul called for a much less dangerous infringement by the Galaxy's Gyasi Zardes in the 92nd minute, leading to the free kick from which Cahill headed the winning goal.
Players -- and, more often, coaches -- are regularly fined for criticizing referees. Cahill, it seems to me, is certainly doing that with his implication that MLS referees will allow a "roughing up" level of physical play. But I suspect that PRO will find nothing wrong with a player calling for a more violent game.

A group created to expose and discredit the SPLC, a pernicious Marxist/Communist organization which has an almost complete stranglehold on "extremist" and "hate group" information fed to the media and law enforcement at all levels. All sectors of the patriot community must become aware of how this organization spreads disinformation to everyone who will listen demonizing Americans who wish to preserve, protect and defend the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights and the philosophy and traditions of our Founders who gave them to us. Here is their site. Make sure to look into the "HATE" group listings such as We Are Change, Oathkeepers, Constitution Party, etc.. http://www.splcenter.org/?ref=logo

Quick GuideCommon Respiratory Illnesses
What tests do health-care professionals use to diagnose swine flu?
Swine flu is presumptively diagnosed clinically by the patient's history of association with people known to have the disease and their symptoms listed above. Usually, a quick test (for example, nasopharyngeal swab sample) is done to see if the patient is infected with influenza A or B virus. Most of the tests can distinguish between A and B types. The test can be negative (no flu infection) or positive for type A and B. If the test is positive for type B, the flu is not likely to be swine flu. If it is positive for type A, the person could have a conventional flu strain or swine flu. However, the accuracy of these tests has been challenged, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not completed their comparative studies of these tests. However, a new test developed by the CDC and a commercial company reportedly can detect H1N1 reliably in about one hour; the test was formerly only available to the military. In 2010, the FDA approved a commercially available test that could detect H1N1 within four hours. Most of these rapid tests are based on PCR technology.
Swine flu is definitively diagnosed by identifying the particular antigens (surface proteins) associated with the virus type. In general, this test is done in a specialized laboratory and is not done by many doctors' offices or hospital laboratories. However, doctors' offices are able to send specimens to specialized laboratories if necessary. Because of the large number of novel H1N1 swine flu cases that occurred in the 2009-2010 flu season (the vast majority of flu cases [about 95%-99%] were due to novel H1N1 flu viruses), the CDC recommended only hospitalized patients' flu virus strains be sent to reference labs to be identified. H3N2v flu strains and other flu virus strains are diagnosed by similar methods.
What types of doctors treat swine flu?
Almost all uncomplicated patients with swine flu can be treated at home or by the patient's pediatrician, primary-care provider, or emergency-medicine doctor. For more complicated and/or severe swine flu infections, specialists such as critical-care specialists, lung specialists (pulmonologists), and infectious-disease specialists may be consulted.

Beijing, China and Beijing 2008 Olympics News
Beijing, China and Beijing 2008 Olympics News
To help the Olympics run smoothly and assist the tens of thousands of athletes, organisers and visitors, will be an amazing volunteer corp of 100,000 people.
Beijing organizers have now (January) chosen more than 80 percent of the volunteers required for this year's Olympics and Paralympics from the biggest candidate pool in the games' history.
More than 800,000 applied to be volunteers for the Olympic Games while another 920,000 applicants are chasing 400,000 positions as 'city volunteers', according to Liu Jian, head of the Volunteer department at the Beijing organizing committee (BOCOG).
"Mencius says a just cause enjoys abundant support," Liu told reporters, quoting an ancient Chinese philosopher.
The 80,000 recruited volunteers, nearly half of whom are university students in Beijing, have passed exams and interviews, received general training and been tried out during a series of test events, Liu said.
More than 50,000 applications came from outside mainland China.
Over 500,000 visitors from overseas are expected for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
Olympic Venues
In Beijing, there are 12 new Olympic venues, 11 upgraded venues and 8 temporary venues - 31 in all.
With the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics on August 8th, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has made a discovery almost unprecedented in its history - everything is being built on time! More used to being shown empty construction sites and hearing tales of bureaucratic hold-ups, Olympic chiefs on a recent visit to China have been astonished at the speed with which the venues have sprung up for the 2008 Games.
The reputation of the country's builders for putting speed ahead of style also seems to be a thing of the past. Hein Verbruggen, chairman of the Olympic coordination commission, said he was "overwhelmed" on seeing such venues as the National Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies and the athletics events will be held. This stadium has been nicknamed the Bird's Nest, because of its striking design of interlocking steel girders.
"These venues are iconic. They're going to be icons for the future here in Beijing, just like the Opera House in Sydney," said Mr Verbruggen. All venues are now completed, with the exception of the Bird's Nest, which will be finished by March.
New Beijing Airport Terminal is ready
According to its designers, Beijing's new airport terminal resembles a Chinese dragon. It was designed by the British-based architectural firm Foster and Partners (Norman Foster). Its structural plan is also a homage to the architectural marvel that is the Forbidden City. The skylights that flood the interior with natural light stick up from the steel superstructure like scales, making the terminal look from the outside like a giant uncoiled dragon. At the front, it nurses a turtle - the station for the new metro line which will rush passengers to the city centre in just 16 minutes.
With the world's longest sea bridge, the third-highest building, and what will become (around 2012) the biggest metro system already under construction, China's ambitions are not stopping here. "We are now planning a second airport," said Zhang Zhigong, the general manager. "We expect to start work on that in 2010." It will be ready in 2015, when Mr Zhang expects even his new dragon to have reached capacity.
Beijing's new airport terminal is bigger than all 5 of London's Heathrow terminals combined. It covers an area of one million square feet.
To give some idea of its scale, 500,000 tons of steel were used in its construction; by comparison, the Eiffel tower used 7,300 tons.
China has the Great Wall, the grandfather of all megastructures. And China has now also opened the world's biggest hydroelectric dam, the Three Gorges, in 2003, is building the world's longest bridge, from Shanghai to Hangzhou, and operates the world's fastest railway, from Shanghai to Shanghai's Pudong International Airport - the only commercial magnetic levitation train service in the world.
Olympic Cultural Squares
Beijing will be setting up 26 Olympic cultural squares throughout the city during the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Large plasma screen televisions will be set up at the Olympic cultural squares to broadcast the Olympic competitions. In addition, the cultural squares will hold performances, themed exhibitions, sponsor activities, licensed product sales, food and medical services, among others.
The Olympic co-host cities of Hong Kong, Qingdao, Tianjin, Shanghai and Shenyang will also have cultural squares.
'One World, One Dream'
The five interlocked Olympic rings signify the joining of hands of the people of the world in a shared dream for a brighter tomorow. The Beijing 2008 motto : 'One World, One Dream' indicates our common desire for the Olympic ideals of excellence, respect and harmony (or peace / friendship). The Beijing 2008 Olympics aims to be a 'Green Olympics', 'High-Tech Olympics' and 'People's Olympics'.
The National Center for the Performing Arts
This center – which houses a theatre for opera, a theatre for plays, and a concert hall – is now open. It is a large illuminated glass dome that seems to float on a lake. The website is here (at present, chinese language only, but you can see what it looks like and some of the international stars who will perform there).
The Great Wheel of China
Work has now begun in Beijing to build the world's biggest Ferris wheel. When completed in 2009, the Great Wheel of China will be 682ft high, towering over the London Eye by 239ft - nearly twice as high.
Ferris wheels were regarded as something of a curio until the London Eye opened to mark the Millennium in 2000. Since then, it has had more than 30 million passengers.
The Beijing wheel will carry 1,920 passengers at a time, 40 people to each of 48 18-ton pods.
Tibet Railway - an engineering triumph
A record four million tourists will have visited Tibet in 2007, thanks to a new railway linking the Himalayan region to the rest of China (and a new third airport).
The number of tourists will have jumped over 60 percent from last year, bringing in an expected 4.8 billion yuan (650 million dollars) in tourism revenues, or 73 percent more than last year, to the region.
The new Tibet railway is the highest in the world with sections surpassing 5,000 metres (16,500 feet) in elevation.
The Tibetan railway opened in 2006, linking the region with the rest of China and offering affordable tickets to many Chinese that previously shied away due to expensive airfares, or horrendously long bus rides.
The air in Tibet is much thinner, having 35% to 40% less oxygen than at sea level and so the train cabins are pressurised and provide extra oxygen during the high altitude sections.
The 'Qingzang railway', 'Qinghai–Xizang railway', or 'Qinghai–Tibet railway', connects Xining, Qinghai Province, to Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region.
The total length of the railway is 1956 km. The 1142 km section between Golmud and Lhasa was inaugurated on 1 July 2006 by president Hu Jintao. This railway is the first to connect central and eastern China with the Tibet Autonomous Region, which due to its altitude and terrain is the last province-level entity in the People's Republic of China to have a conventional railway. Trains now run from Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xining and Lanzhou. Beijing to Lhasa is 4,000 km.
The line includes the Tanggula Pass, at 5,072 m above sea level the world's highest rail track. The 1,338 m Fenghuoshan tunnel is the highest rail tunnel in the world, at 4,905 m above sea level. The 3,345-m Yangbajing tunnel is the longest tunnel on the line. It is 4,264 m above sea level, 80 kilometres north-west of Lhasa.
More than 960 km, or over 80% of the Golmud-Lhasa section, is at an altitude of more than 4,000 m. There are 675 bridges, totalling 159.88 km, and over half the length of the railway is laid on permafrost.
China's Space Exploration
In 2003, China became only the third country to put a man into space using its own rocket, after the former Soviet Union and the United States. It sent two astronauts on a five-day flight on its Shenzhou VI mission in October 2005. A successful lunar probe was launched in October 2007.
China plans to launch a third manned mission, Shenzhou VII, next year involving a space walk, and will probably mount a joint effort with Russia to explore Mars in 2009. There are also plans to build a space station.
Eleven more Beijing subway lines to be in construction in 2008
The operation of line No. 5 brought the city's rail mileage to 142 kilometers. With the operation of line No. 10 (first phase, including the Olympic sub-line) and the airport line in the first half of 2008, Beijing's rail system will increase to 200 kilometers to meet the demands of the Olympic Games. But that is just the start.
This year, Beijing will embark on the second phase of subway construction, by speeding up the progress of seven new lines, and start the construction of two others. The total planned rail mileage for 2008 is 270km, counting the 11 lines under construction.
Beijing aims to build an urban rail network of 440km by 2012, and reach a mileage of 561.5km by 2015, as a result of a planned investment of 170 billion yuan (about 23 billion U.S. dollars).
Beijing's Subway
Beijing's subway stations have begun using the automatic fare collection (AFC) system, bidding farewell to paper tickets.
On the first day of operation, the 93 subway stations saw about 1.92 million commuters use magnetic strip tickets or mass transit smart cards to enter and exit the subway gates.
Trains will run every 2 1/2 minutes during the Olympics period, with extended opening hours and some 24 hour bus routes. On April 30, it carried 4.3 million passengers daily, breaking its own record.
Beijing to Shanghai Express Railway
Construction of the Beijing to Shanghai express railway, the largest scale railway in the world, is soon to start.
The Beijing to Shanghai express railway will have 21 stations, including Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan, Nanjing and Shanghai, covering a total length of 1,318 km. Its trains will reach speeds of 300 to 350 km per hour, reducing the train travel time from Beijing to Shanghai from 12 hours to 5 hours.
China plans to spend 300 billion yuan (£21 billion) to build 4,500km (2,750 miles) of new railways this year. It seeks to extend the railway network to 120,000km by 2020, a length equal to three times the world's circumference.
Wind Power adds to Beijing's High-Tech Green Olympics
Beijing Guanting Wind Power Station has nearly completed its first phase of construction and will be ready for a trial run later this month (January). Beijing and its people will be able to use greener energy generated by thirty-three gigantic wind-driven generators.
When its first phase of construction completes, the station will be able to offer 100 million kWh of power a year, equivalent to 100,000 households' electric power consumption.
Green City, Green Olympics
Beijing's green coverage has reached 48% and its per capita public green space currently stands at 12.6 square meters, 48 square meters of green space for every person in Beijing overall.
By 2007 Beijing had already fulfilled its seven-point pledge made in its Olympic bid. In 2001, Beijing made a seven-point promise to built more parks and plant more trees to 'green' the city as part of its bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games.
Beijing's total forest coverage grew from 930,000 Hectares in 2000 to 1.078 million Hectares in 2007, a 51.6 percent increase.
In 2006, the city created more than 160 green spaces, and tree planting along the city's 'five waterways and ten highways' has resulted in a 23,000 Hectare greenbelt. In addition to the famous parks, there are now 60 free entry parks in the city.
Just as the city has become noticeably greener, some changes that are not so visible to the eye have also taken place.
In 2007, Beijing made impressive progress in building an energy efficient city: its energy consumption per unit of GDP decreased by 5.11 percent; water consumption fell by 9.6 percent and COD and SO2 emissions were down 3.2 percent and 13 percent respectively.
Olympic Flowers
Already famous for its widespread use of flowers to enhance the city landscape, Beijing will be home to an amazing thirty million flower pots that will brighten the streets, hotel reception areas, Olympic venues and scenic spots of Beijing in the lead-up to and during the Olympics.
This year will also see even more new trees planted. The government will focus on increasing the green coverage in more than 100 roads in 2007, including Chang'An Avenue, the Fourth Ring Road and the Capital Airport expressway.
Green space in Beijing has now reached 43%. In addition to the famous parks, there are now 60 free entry parks in the city.
Beijing's Hutongs
Today, 658 of Beijing's traditional hutongs are designated as protected from development.
Beijing's Olympic Panda Visitors
Eight giant panda cubs are on holiday from the Wolong Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province. They spent the first two weeks adjusting to the new environment in Beijing Zoo's renovated panda quarters and recuperating from the trauma of the earthquake that struck near their home. The eight pandas are scheduled to stay in Beijing for three months.
QianMen Street
This historic 846 meter long road, that leads south from Tian'AnMen Square, was the path Chinese emperors took to visit the Temple of Heaven.
It will soon be characterized by rails on which electric trolley buses will run, recreating the scene from the 1920s and 1930s, with architecture dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The renovation has involved the bringing back of time-honored stores and restaurants which have retained strong traditions throughout the years. Before the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, Qianmen Avenue will be opened to the public, inviting visitors to enjoy its old-time atmosphere.
Free Wireless Internet, City-wide
Beijing's city-wide wireless network program will be up and running by August, enabling residents and visitors to access the Internet. Coverage takes in 100 sq km, including the areas inside the Third Ring roads, the CBD trade circle, Financial Street, Zhongguancun and Wangjing.
The network, which will be free of charge during this summer's Olympic Games, will cost users 0.12 yuan ($0.02) per minute after the Games with unlimited traffic. The speed will be no less than 512kpbs
The second phase of the program will be completed by the end of 2009, when the wireless network will cover urban Beijing within the Fifth Ring road.
Beijing 2008 Paralympics
The Paralymic Games will be held from September 6th - 17th.

First, I apologize if I posted this in the wrong folder. 2 of my 3 mag floor plates for my H&K 45C have the extension finger groove. Does anyone know of an online vendor that sells the floor plate without the finger groove? I have tried doing searches in the usual forums, and I have not found anything.
Thanks for any, and all replies!
