Product Placement: These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty
From the question posed a few days ago, your answer:
Click on the page to see the cover of the trade publication, "The World of Pretzels," which Patricia's grandfather edited.
Yes, "The Big Bounce" is the second film in as many years to feature ... pretzels!
The line is meant to trumpet the product but it almost feels disparaging, doesn't it? Because surely there were more movies with pretzels in them. It's such a standard product. It's as if some industry organization trumpeted their use of couches in a movie. Hey, we were able to make sure there were sinks visible to the public and in close association with this star who used this sink. Tell your friends!
Apparently, though, according to Patricia, scion of a pretzel empire, pretzels were basically an east-coast, Germanic thing and didn't start spreading across the country until the 1950s and '60s. Maybe Patricia's grandfather helped. Maybe Ryan O'Neal did. Who knows? But it's an indicator. Nobody wanted to be the guy who didn't get Clark Gable an undershirt in "It Happened One Night" and thus, and probably apocryphally, sunk the undergarment industry.
Do industry-wide organizations still engage in product placement ("Let's make sure there are oranges in this film!") or are we all out for ourselves now ("Sunkist oranges!")? The model is no longer the fear of being the undergarment industry in "It Happened One Night" but the fear of not being Reese's Piece in "E.T."

SOE Long Range Shoot AAR 375/408 v 408 v 50 BMG
Hello, I've been reading here but haven't posted I don't think. If I have it's been quite a while. Very informed and smart discussion here. SOE does and trains extreme range shooting, mostly for the military guys, and we also run training events for civilians that want to shoot to 2000 yards or more in field conditions. Here is an AAR that I was asked to post here. If i'm out of bounds with this info, I apologize. Comments are invited. Here you are.
6 July Overview. The training was attended to 2 shooters. At the last minute, several shooters cancelled due to other commitments. The date of this shoot was released late and didnt live much time for shooters to arrange for time off etc.
Gun Systems Present: The intent was to include a 338 Lapua rifle in this shoot to compete against the other three cartridges represented. The planned rifle, an Accuracy International 338 LM was not through customs as one of the attending shooters had planned to bring it to the shoot. We will have one for the 22-25 July shoot.
1. .50 BMG Barrett M107 System with an 8 x 32 x 56mm Nightforce scope on Barrett adjustable rings.
2. .408 CheyTac M200 full military version rifle with a 5.5 x 22 x 56mm Nightforce scope on Nightforce rings.
3. SOE built 375/408 long range prototype rifle.
4. .408 CheyTac M310 Civilian Package rifle.
6 July was a planned classroom day. Much of what SOE trains in its programs are not covered by any other sniping or long range shooting program within the US military or other civilian school. The nature of the listed classroom subjects bears witness to this fact.
Much of the classroom instruction takes on the nature of a discussion. There are always many questions and discussion on the answers to those questions. The classroom training went into the early evening. Desktop training on the CheyTac Advanced Ballistic Computer (ABC) was included as SOE believes this to be the best and most advanced computer fire support device for long range shooting on the market today. All of the long range shots were done with the use of the ABC to generate the Elevation and Windage settings for the rifles.

7 July
The rifle zeros were done at 525 yards. It is not critical to have a fixed even known distance when zeroing with the CheyTac ABC, but you do have to know the range to the target. We frequently use uneven range values (525 yards) to do the zeroing so that the shooter is in the best ground position available. When you zero the CheyTac ABC to the rifle, you simply enter the range to the target in yards or meters, enter the air temperature, air pressure, ammunition temperature (to adjust for muzzle velocity values), the guns muzzle velocity and then adjust the elevation knob on the scope to match the elevation setting generated by the computer for that shot. Then the ABC and the gun are in tune as is the shooters particular individual zero. (More info on this method on the upcoming SOE / CheyTac ABC page on SOEs website.
All guns were chronographed on the South Creek range before zeroing. Muzzle velocities obtained were:
Barrett M107 .50 cal HSM AMAX ammo 2660 fps
M310 .408 419 gr. HB 2860 fps
M200 Military Package 408 CheyTac 419 gr. HB 2860 fps
375/408 SOE 350 gr. LRBT M40 Match 3265 fps
Zero Guns at 500 Yards All rifles shot 1 MOA groups with ease. M107 with AMAX was at 1.4 MOA.
Long Range Grouping Exercises 525, 1125, 1525 Yards The 408 and the 375/408 were the easy winners in this shoot. These guns are designed for superior stability and shoot ability. The M107 is challenged directly by those two shooting standards. The M107 however did respectably well shooting 1.5 MOA at these ranges. SOEs director shot the rifle during these drills. SOE has extensive experience going back to 1993 training Special Forces snipers on the shooting and marksmanship demands of the Barrett rifles. SOE trained Barrett shooters are guaranteed to be 1.5 MOA and better shooters when using quality match ammunition. The day was ended at 1525 yards due to time constraints.
The CheyTac ABC was used to control the fire of these guns. We went from 525 to 1125 to 1525 yards using the ABC to generate the elevation and Windage settings at these ranges. We did not walk rounds in to the target, which is expensive on ammo costing $4.00 a shot. The ABC generated dead accurate elevation settings that would have resulted in X and 10 ring shots for elevation at all three ranges.
8 July
South Creek Range 2025 yards. In the morning, we started with cold gun shots at 2025 yards at the South Creek range. The M107s supersonic range was questionable at this distance so we did not group the M107 at this range. We also wanted to proceed directly to the mountain range to shoot unknown distance. The 408 CheyTac M200 gun and the 375/408 SOE gun both shot 1 1.5 MOA at the 2025 yard mark. The 375 however, had a significant advantage as these ranges. Data below:
375/408 Elevation setting for 2025 yards 43.75 MOA from 100 yard zero. Velocity @ 2025 = 1822 fps 2.50 seconds flight time.
408 CheyTac - Elevation setting for 2025 yards 64.50 MOA from 100 yard zero. Velocity @ 2025 = 1404 fps 3.06 seconds flight time.
(For comparison) M107 / AMAX @ 2660 fps Elevation setting for 2025 yards 75.25 MOA from 100 yard zero. Velocity @ 2025 = 1309 fps 3.30 seconds flight time.
__________________________________________________ ______________
8 July - From South Creek, we moved to our steel target long range located near King Mountain, in central Idaho. Elevation is about 7500 ASL. Air pressure was 23.65 In. Hg. With an air temperature of about 92 deg. F. This range consists of 15 steel targets at ranges from 1000 yards to 2245 yards. The targets vary from 20 x 40 to small targets of 14 x 14. The big targets are not the more far in range, and the small targets are not the closest ones. The shooting positions here are challenging as they are in field condition.
Shots at targets in the 1500 yard plus ranges require that the guns be elevated to the long extent on their bipod legs or rucksacks. This creates inherent instability that shows each gun's weakness in design and execution. The bipod above the barrel design is superior in this environment. Guns like the M107 with its unstable below the gun design have severe limitations in this environment. The result is usually a lot of vertical stringing of the shots and unpredictable results.
All three represented cartridges have high BC values. (AMAX - .952) (408 CheyTac - .945) (375/408 SOE 1.018). These high performance rounds all had the ability to attack targets at all but the 2245 ranges. At this range, only the 408 and the 375/408 were able to compete. The gun design limitation on the M107 had a drastic effect on the guns ability to be accurate for 1st or 2nd shot engagements on targets. A 12 steel target was attacked successfully at 1475 yards with multiple shots using the M107/AMAX combination. (Multiple shots at 1475 were placed at about 1.5 MOA and less). It should be noted however, that military ammunition including the Mark 211, MOD-0 Raufoss round could not be expected to do as well.
9 July King Mountain location. We returned to the field shoot range. We had planned on shooting another gun position, but decided to remain with the current spot to improve on non-standard gun positions, unstable positions and the demanding terrain at GP2.
The field shoot range is most demanding on the elevation and Windage settings. The terrain here is extreme and as depicted in the photos, resembles terrain in Afghanistan and eastern Iraq in the mountainous border region of Iraq/Iran and North Korea for that matter. SOE does not doe chasing shots. Meaning we do not guess at the range and then use historical data books to generate an elevation and Windage setting for the gun and shots. Personally, I have not kept a historical shot record for several years. SOE trains that historical records mean very little when you are not shooting in a meteorological environment that you have never been in. All the data books kept in the US will do a professional sniper any good when they go to the Middle East or the Korean peninsula.
In a wrap, the position at King Mountain range demands the following:
1. Gun systems that are supersonic to 2400 yards at these conditions.
2. Computerized fire support to generate accurate elevation and Windage settings for 1st and/or 2nd shot engagements.
3. Super accurate and high BC bullets and ammunition to give you the ability to shoot these ranges.
SOE is doing this shoot again from 22-25 July. The 338 Lapua will be included in that shoot using 250 gr. Scenar bullets, 250 and 270 gr. LRBT J40 match bullets and 300 gr. Sierra Matchkings as well.
Short analysis: The 375/408 and 408 CheyTac are both vastly superior to the M107 rifle and the AMAX projectile. Unfortunately the military is not using the AMAX load except in a couple of small circles. The AMAX is a very capable bullet, but needs more velocity than can be generated by the M107 or other bolt action 29 barrel .50 cal. Rifles to be effective. Supersonic range and flight time are the key figures and the 408 and 375/408 are superior in those values. The 338 Lapua is a key player also, if using the 270 gr. LRBT projectile at 2800 fps or more speeds.
The 375/408 is the current supersonic range king at a supersonic range of 2930 yards at sea level conditions and a velocity of 3265 fps.
Testing and analysis will continue throughout July and into August on these cartridges.

Re: SOE Long Range Shoot AAR 375/408 v 408 v 50 BMG
T50, thanks for the post,very interesting stuff.what really caught my attention was the 375/408.i'm relatively new to the long range stuff but my belief is this might be hard to beat for big game huntable killing power.you say the lost river bullets worked pretty well.that seems to be the problem with the bigger calibers.there are a couple others in 408 but 375 is not as popular.how good do these 375 bullets shoot?
PS looks like a great place to streach things out a bit!

Re: SOE Long Range Shoot AAR 375/408 v 408 v 50 BMG
You're welcome. Sorry for the delay on getting back to you. Atomic days in town, worked the rodeo last night. The 375/408 and the 408 as well are exceptional big game killers. Lost River Ballistics, whose real specialty is big game bullets (J36) and members of this site know them, are very successful. The hunting bullet J36 is 400 gr. for the 408 caliber (@ 3000 fps) and the 375 is a high BC .640 300 grainer that would probably do about 3400 fps easily enough in a 375/408 rifle. The Lost River BCs are accurate on their site. We have shot many of them at Yuma Proving Ground in front of a doppler radar to measure downrange stability and performance and their numbers if anything are on the low side of the real BC.
Most manufacturers, except Sierra, do a mathematical calculation that is usually lower than the measured BC. The Hornaday AMAX .50 is an example. They claim over 1.050 BC, but in actual flight testing, the BC is around .950.
The accuracy of the M40 and J40 match projectiles is exceptional. They must be shot down the right barrel setups. Because of the alloys and length of the match bullets, you usually need a faster twist. Don't worry about that with the J36 bullets.

Re: SOE Long Range Shoot AAR 375/408 v 408 v 50 BMG
T50, i guess the 350 gr 375 cal is only for the mil/law.you posted a BC of over 1. what twist would this bullet need? i'm very familiar with the precise fit these bullets need, it's their biggest drawback.they'll only work IF the fit is perfect and then they haven't shown they can shoot as good as jacketed bullets.

Re: SOE Long Range Shoot AAR 375/408 v 408 v 50 BMG
In reality, there are only 3 or 4 bullets that measure a true 1.000+ BC. The others are .50 BMG rounds. I disagree wholly with you on 2 aspects. First, that these need a perfect fit. That is true for bore-riders. No, these need a specific land/groove configuration. Many match barrels are "tight" that squeeze a paper puncher bullet tight and force it down the bore under intense pressure. A machined bullet doesn't need this swaging to be accurate, but it does need a barrel with specs built for it, as DO match jacketed bullets.
Second, I've been shooting these solids for 5 years now and I can't find another jacketed bullet that will outshoot them. All I do is 1500+ yard shooting, there are few bullets and guns that shoot in that world well. I shoot a 338 Lapua and have shot the 250 SMKs, Lapua scenars, D46 FMJBTs, 300 SMK and some special stuff now and then. In shooting the 270 gr. and 250 gr. solids, they don't match up for accuracy or for long range performance anything near 2000 yards.
The twist in these guns is 1:11". K&P barrels shoot them, Lothar Walther barrels shoot them, Lawton barrels shoot them, and a few others. What doesn't shoot them are tight bores like Obermeyer, Krieger etc. that super swedge jacketed bullets. Different engine, different gas.
But on the fit? Nah, gotta disagree. There are lots of misconceptions and mistruths out there about these solids. You just have to put them down the right barrels. You wouldn't put a 220 SMK down a 1:12" twist slop bore right? Good discussion though.

Re: SOE Long Range Shoot AAR 375/408 v 408 v 50 BMG
i guess you seem to agree with me that these bullets need the right combination to shoot.you've listed some barrels they won't work in because they run a little small.yes match bullets work very well in them, but they'll also work in the other barrels you mentioned and even production quality barrels because they're soft enough to slug up into whatever size the bore is.a solid won't work if the bore is too snug and they also won't work if it's just a little loose.again because they won't slug up.this to me means they need a very precise fit.
as far as accuracy goes every one on here has heard about them being accurate.i'm referring to Lost River bullets.every year there's rumor of someone with LR bullets gonna clean up at Williamsport, 1k, or at some of these mile shoots.every time i talk to some of the competitors it just doesn't happen.i think they'll shoot very accurately out of the "right" barrel.(perfect fit [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) to my knowledge it hasn't been proven they'll outshoot jacketed lead bullets at any range. would love to see a great hunting, high BC bullet in 375 that would shoot lights out.
i believe in solids for hunting but not for long range hunting.i dought if there's anyone on here that believes they have the accuracy or the terminal performance needed for long range.
i'm not trying to flame, i'm actually very interested in your reports and speciffically anything you have with those 375 bullets.can a fellow get ahold of those 350 gr projectiles or do you need a security clearance with George's signiture or something?

"What doesn't shoot them are tight bores like Obermeyer, Krieger etc."
Broad statement that? Could you expand a little bit there Deano? Obermeyer runs deeper grooves on some calibres, and his groove circle is not all that tight, he just bore reams shallower than the rest, Krieger runs pretty much Saami std unless they state tight bore, so are you saying the et cetera includes barrelmakers who run saami std wont shoot the bullets? intrigued to say the least..I will say this, it would be easier to tell Krieger to run a couple tenths bigger on groove than it would be to tell a buttoneer..

Because it's been quite a busy month, I didn't have much time to think about what I'd wear to Eric's office Christmas party this year. I figured I'd just wear the light green J. Crew dress I bought over the summer, as I do love Christmas pastels. But then…then sequins entered the picture.
Last week, on Black Friday, I asked Eric's mom and aunt if they wanted to go out to lunch with us. I really just wanted to get out of the house and have a drink, so we went out to lunch and had margaritas. His mom and aunt are really fun and we had a great time chatting over lunch/drinks. After the meal, we decided to go to Target for more chocolate to make another batch of spiked hot chocolate, but on the way they suggested we go to their favorite boutique nearby, Aspen Boutique. Eric started to look a little pained, and not from the margaritas.
And then everything happened so fast.
We walked in to Aspen Boutique, a well-lit, cozy store filled with tons of clothes and accessories, and they told one of the salesgirls to just fill a room with things that would look good on me. Apparently we were going to play dress-up. They were really pumped and the salesgirl was looking at me with that gleam in her eye that someone gets before they totally take advantage of you; I realized this could end badly, and I was looking to Eric to save me, but he was giving me his, "You brought this upon yourself" face. Then he texted his uncle to come meet him at a bar nearby and minutes later, he left. I was at their mercy.
I browsed with them for a little while, and at first glance, nothing really jumped out at me as being my style. Everything was really nice, but I just couldn't see myself wearing it. So I just offered feedback on everyone else's picks. Then we headed to the fitting room so they could try on. But once we got there, the salesgirl with the gleam in her eye was waiting. She pointed me to a fitting room that was filled with no less than a dozen items: dresses, tops, and fur vests. I was rather surprised that she had found all this stuff for me, as I didn't see any of it when I was shopping. Since I rarely buy clothes, I had no intention of buying anything, but I could still play dress up.
The first thing I tried on was a short, black, long-sleeved sequin dress. When I came out of the fitting room, quite a crowd of shoppers and employees was standing around chatting and they all went crazy over the dress. I had to admit, it was kind of fabulous, even with the brown riding boots I was wearing that day. It was just a party dress.
Everyone loved it and I loved it too, but really, I was just playing for fun, so I didn't make a big deal out of it. I tried on two more dresses, including a trendy/oddly conservative black leather dress and an indigo-colored dress with gold beaded trim that was perfect for…pretty much every occasion. Then I started trying on the tops. It was the stuff movie montages are made of. Since I don't buy a lot of clothes, I really don't shop much or try on a lot of clothes, and as I went through all the tops, I totally had this moment of, "Oh…so this is why women like clothes shopping."
But the boutique was pricey and if I was going to buy myself something new, it wouldn't be something impractical like a sequin dress. Even if it did make me feel skinny, which, frankly, is the feature that most items I own that cost more than $50 have in common.
As I was trying on the last couple vests, the sales girl and Eric's mom and aunt started going through my dressing room and discussing which dresses looked best on me. Before I knew what was happening, the sequin dress was whisked away. And before I could really protest (and believe me, I tried) they were dashing off to the register with the indigo dress too. By the time I got dressed, Eric's mom was waiting for me at the counter and the beaming salesgirl was handing me a garment bag with two hangers coming out of the top.
I was speechless over the gifts. I mean, I was excited, but just…what just happened?!
Eric's mom dismissed my gushing thanks with a wave of her hand, saying it was even more fun for them. Then we walked to the bar where Eric had been having a drink with his uncle and now his aunt. The men left to go watch football. (I thought to myself, What is it about shopping that is so repellent to them?! OK, I get that they don't like watching it but they can't even be excited forus?! They can't even bear to listen to the recap?! Then I realized that's exactly how I feel about football, so…ya know.)
So they fled and Eric's aunt ordered us a bottle of champagne to celebrate…um, shopping! (I know, right?!)
So suddenly I had a Christmas party dress!
Eric's outfit for the party took a bit more work, especially after word got around that the guests had been underdressed in the past few years and were expected to really go formal this year. I has been worried my dress would be too much and had planned to tone it down with flats and maybe even a blazer, but that was out. So Thursday night, Eric and I hit the mall for some fancy clothes and accessories.
I don't know about you, but I don't really like shopping with guys or "dressing them." I don't know what the rules are when it comes to men's fashion; I just know what I like. I tend to like things that remind me of my dad (for myself and guys) and as I'm writing, I'm having a "getting it" moment on why everything I like is deemed "too gay," "really hipster," or "maybe if I was black" by the two straight men I've ever shopped with.
Despite all this, I managed to steer Eric in a direction he wouldn't have gone without me. I kept explaining that it wasn't enough to wear a suit and tie; the key for holiday parties is to look festive. You can't wear the same old blue and yellow tie and suit, especially when your girlfriend is wearing sequins, unless, of course, you want your coworkers to start whispering that you hired an escort.
So I suggested a bow tie. I thought he could pull it off without looking like he was wearing a costume and without looking like a hipster (which, despite the beard and glasses, he is not; it's OK that you thought that though — during our first conversation, I flat-out said, "So are you a hipster?" because I assumed the same thing). Banana Republic had both the shirt with the faint russet plaid and the red and black plaid bow tie. Despite some uncertainty on his part, he trusted the salesgirl and me when we insisted that it was festive and that he looked good and he went for it.
And then he got compliments from every coworker he talked to during the party on it. His boss's wife didn't even ask; she just went ahead and directly complimented me on it. I have her this look of, "Yes! I sure did pick it out! Because I totally know how men should dress and I dress Eric all the time!" when in reality, I could have just as easily steered him in a direction that had his boss's wife thinking I was just his hag.
The party this year was held at a country club in Cypress and it was pretty fancy; I'm glad I did sequins and heels and smoky eye make-up to go with the dress. It was really fun too, despite someone's idea that karaoke should be the entertainment. Aside from that painful 90 minutes, which left me pretty sure I was unwittingly on "The Office," we had a ton of fun.
And then there was what can only be described as a Christmas miracle: Eric and I both decided to join in the dance party.
You may not know this, but I don't dance. OK, I take that back; I don't dance unless I'm so drunk that I have absolutely no business dancing. If I'm dancing, you, as my friend, have a responsibility to take me home. Eric, for whatever reason, doesn't dance either. We really appreciate this quality in each other; there's no pressure at weddings!
But last night…the music was pretty good…and there was no need to look sexy (the main reason I avoid dancing, because I look so unsexy)…and we hadn't had too much to drink. Everyone who was left (not many people after the karaoke) was tearing it up and it looked so fun. And we felt so festive in our party clothes. If we didn't dance now, I doubted we ever would, and one day we'd be old and people would just think we were super religious or something.
So after nearly 18 months of dating, we danced together. Then Eric said, "This is the first time we've ever danced together!" and I got super self-conscious and shy and immediately wanted stop. Overall, our first time dancing together was more slow-going and awkward and involved more alcohol and less eye contact than the first time we had sex. On the other hand, I'm more comfortable looking back at pictures of how we looked last night than I'd be looking back at pictures of that, so…it balances it out.

Have you ever wondered about how storage is calculated for your Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online organization, or how storage notifications are generated, or where to check your organization's maximum allowed storage or usage? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, please read on. This article is intended to shed light on storage and storage notifications in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, to answer some FAQs related to storage, and to provide some tips for reducing your storage utilization.
Let's start by determining your maximum allowed storage limit. By default, you get 5GB of storage when you sign up for a CRM Online organization. If you manage your CRM Online subscriptions by using Office 365 ("O365 CRM orgs" for the sake of brevity), you can always purchase additional storage on the Resources In Use page, or you can purchase storage directly from your subscription management page.
If you have an O365 CRM org, you can check for your allowed storage and your current usage anytime by navigating to Settings > Administration > Resources In Use. The Resources in Use page is shown in the following graphic.
If you have a non-O365 CRM org, you can check your allowed storage and your current usage anytime by navigating to Settings > Administration > Subscription Management. The Subscription Management page is shown in the following graphic.
So, what happens when your CRM Online organization approaches or exceeds your storage limit? You will receive storage notifications alerting you that the organization's storage usage is approaching or has exceeded your allowed storage limit. To avoid spamming you with multiple emails, Microsoft sends only one email notification per day about storage, even if your organization hits the threshold multiple times a day. Currently, the notification email and org level notifications are generated if your organization reaches 80% of your allowed storage limit, but Microsoft reserves the right to change this threshold percentage.
In addition to sending email notifications to System Administrators, Microsoft also generates notifications that you can view by navigating to Settings >Administration > System Notifications. The System Notifications page is shown in the following graphic.
There are two kinds of storage notifications: Storage Limit Reached and Storage Limit Exceeded notifications. Think of these as two different kinds of alarms indicating the level of risk associated with your storage utilization.
Storage Limit Reached notifications indicate that you have reached your threshold limit and may soon exceed your storage capacity. As a result, action is required to avoid exceeding the storage limit. A typical Storage Limit Reached notification is shown in the following graphic:
Storage Limit Exceeded notifications indicate that your CRM Online organization has already exceeded the threshold and you will not be able to add data, such as records, to the system. Immediate action on your part is required, either deleting data you no longer need or purchasing additional storage. A typical Storage Limit Exceeded notification is shown in the following graphic:
Now let's move on to addressing some common storage-related questions from the customer forums.
How is my Storage Utilization calculated?
Other than the internal specific calculations, two main components, Data Size and Index Size, are used to calculate your CRM Online organization's storage utilization.
The size of the transaction log is not included in calculations of storage utilization. The increase in database size that results from an upgrade from one Dynamics CRM version to another is not included, and nor are the organization database overheads.
If you have multiple instances of CRM Online associated with the same O365 account, your total storage utilization is the sum of storage utilizations of all the CRM instances.
Can I increase the threshold for storage warnings from 80% to 85%?
Because the storage thresholds are managed at a deployment level, there currently is no way to control the threshold value on a per organization basis.
I purchased new storage, when will my new storage get reflected?
When customers who have a non-O365 CRM organization purchase extra storage, Microsoft's billing service notifies us of the purchase, and we would immediately queue up the CalculateMaxStorage system job to provide the extra storage. The process from buying storage to queuing up the system job generally takes less than a minute. After the asynchronous service picks up this system job and executes it, your newly purchased storage will reflect in your allowed storage limit.
I have an O365 organization, how long does it take to purchase new storage and for it to become available in CRM?
Except for volume licensing scenarios (which are detailed below), the process should be quick. You purchase extra storage in O365, and Microsoft gets that information by querying O365 for changes, and the Microsoft queues up the CalculateMaxStorage system job. The process from buying storage to queuing up the system job generally takes less than a minute. After the asynchronous service picks up this system job and executes it, your newly purchased storage will reflect in your allowed storage limit.
When it comes to volume licensing, purchasing extra storage requires a series of steps. It requires an amendment to the service contract and takes approximately about a week to complete. Therefore, it is highly recommended to buy additional storage well in advance of reaching storage exceeded threshold. However, as a result of unforeseen circumstances such as bulk data imports into your organization, for example, if your organization is exceeds the allowed storage limit, and you need the additional storage updated more quickly, you can call Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online support to seek out their assistance directly.
How can I reduce the storage utilization associated with my CRM Online organization?
From a historical perspective, most storage is consumed by email attachments, notes, workflows, and system jobs. As a result, be sure to reclaim some of the space used by these items by regularly following these easy maintenance activities.
- Use Bulk Delete jobs on a one-time or recurring basis to delete:
- Old and successful system jobs.
- Large and outdated email attachments (ActivityMimeAttachment)
- Large and outdated Notes (Annotation)
For detail about using Bulk Delete to delete data and reclaim storage space, see:
Matt Cooper's blog post on maximizing your allotted space in CRM should also be very useful, as it provides a step-by-step explanation of using Bulk Delete to get rid of those old large email attachments:
- If your organization makes heavy use of workflows, revisit the frequently running heavy workflows to determine if they can be simplified. Removing even a few steps from workflows that run frequently can make a noticeable difference.
- If your organization makes heavy use of asynchronous plugins, during sdkmessageprocessingstep registration there is an option you can select that specifies to delete the system jobs (for running that sdkmessageprocessingstep) after they complete successfully. Below is the screenshot from plugin registration tool that exposes that option.
That's it for now. I hope this blog post has provided additional insights into storage and storage notifications in CRM Online. I encourage you to try out the techniques mentioned above to free up some of your organization's storage utilization so that you can make the best use of the resources you already have. Don't forget to send me your feedback and comments!

If you were given an unknown solution, write the steps that would be needed to prove that a solution contained phosphate.
This really is too general (too open ended). If the solution may contain any anion, one must assure that arsenate and arsenite are not present, then test with ammonium molybdate. If arsenate or arsenite are present, arsenate must be reduced with sodium sulfite, then pptd as As2S3 with H2S. After the excess H2S gas is expelled, perform the ammonium molybdate test.

I M Confident Niagara Canada
'building confidence and increasing esteem'
If you answered 'no' to any of these questions, don't feel bad, you certainly aren't the only one who feels like this. Most people want to be happy and successful in life, but many fail because they lack confidence and have little or no self-esteem.
As children, we have dreams of becoming a doctor, lawyer, astronaut, fireman or something else we believe is important. Then we hear and see things that take away our dreams and make us feel inferior. "You're stupid." "You can't do that." "You're a failure." "What a loser."
Do any of these statements sound familiar? Growing up, most of us have heard these words spoken to us or about us. These are just a few of those negative statements that tear down our esteem and create insecurities.
Depending on our environment, these statements often continue on in to our teens, adulthood and right into our senior years.
Where is the encouragement? How many times do we hear statements like these? "Good job!" "You tried your best!" "You have talent!" "I'm proud of you." We don't seem to hear as many of these positive statements and these are CRITICAL to becoming a confident adult with strong esteem.
Growing up and living in a mainly positive environment is the ideal way to learn. Our parents and peers make us feel loved, wanted and appreciated; which helps us build confidence and increases our self-esteem. We grow into responsible, reliable, caring adults who are able to face daily challenges and deal with them effectively.
However, most of us grow up in environments that are partly or even completely negative. Our parents and peers make us feel unloved, unwanted and unappreciated; which helps destroy our confidence and decreases our self-esteem. We grow into untrusting, fearful, insecure adults who can't face daily challenges and deal with things badly.
The good thing is, we CAN ALL CHANGE! Your past DOES NOT define who you are! It doesn't matter what environment you grew up in, how people have treated you, how old you are, or how you are feeling right now. You may be YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY but you can become YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND. YOU are the ONLY one who can change your life.
Negativity CAN be changed into positivity. Bad habits CAN be changed into good habits.
You CAN become more confident and you CAN have better self-esteem. It takes 2 things - desire and commitment. First you need to have a deep desire for a better life, then you have to commit to actively and continually working every day, all the time, day after day to make positive changes until they become habit. It takes about 21 CONTINUOUS days to set a new habit. If you miss a day or two, it is important not to get discouraged, you might have slipped back a bit, but you haven't lost all your hard work, just keep going.
Change is NOT easy, NOT quick and everyone won't have the same results in the same time period, but it is definitely worth your time and effort to create a better life. When you get impatient and don't see results fast enough, think about how long it took to create your situation and realize it will take at least as much time or probably longer, to make the situation better.
Just DON'T EVER GIVE UP, always KEEP TRYING!
Try to eliminate or decrease as much negativity as possible in your life. Work on building a positive environment and as you become more confident, your positivity will influence others.
I M CONFIDENT NIAGARA CANADA is committed to providing information and ideas on how to build confidence and increase self-esteem. Use the information provided as a learning tool to get you started on your own pathway to a positive life.

Jeffco Public Schools will pay former superintendent Dan McMinimee $27,000 in additional performance pay when his contract expires later this year as part of an agreement approved last Thursday that formalizes his demotion from superintendent to an advisory role for the remainder of his contract.
A 3-acre highway grass fire ignited early Saturday morning in Ken-Caryl Ranch, but the flames were fully contained within five hours.
Around 1:30 a.m., a 911 caller reported visible flames near the Hogback at Ken-Caryl and C-470. Crews from West Metro Fire Rescue checked the highway and ultimately discovered the blaze on the west side of the Hogback.
Firefighters attacked the flames for several hours, controlling the fire by 3 a.m. but remaining on scene until 5 a.m., according to information from 5280 Fire's social media account.
Seniors from Jefferson and Gilpin counties received a lesson in gun safety last week.
The session was a part of the district attorney's Triad program, a partnership among those in the criminal justice system, community groups and volunteer senior citizens designed to prevent the victimization of older adults while providing with them with law enforcement services.
George Mumma, a senior investigator with the Jeffco DA's office, shared information about various types of guns and rehashed Colorado's gun laws to a filled conference room.
There were flips, cartwheels and splits aplenty on March 1 at Leawood Elementary as students in the school's gymnastics program performed for their classmates, teachers and families.
The gymnastics program is longstanding at the school, but the 2017 season did bring one change: the addition of a new spring floor.
Donated by Columbine High School earlier this year, the floor provides an additional tool for the students, and it helps the elementary school stand out.
Last week, West Metro Fire officials met with about 100 people at Green Mountain United Methodist Church to tell them they are still investigating a string of seven suspicious fires but have not yet determined a cause or identified a suspect.
An Inter-Canyon Fire Department fire truck was damaged last week when it slid off an icy road while on a call.
About 8 p.m. Feb. 28, firefighters responded to a wildland fire call on McKinney Road off South Deer Creek Canyon Road.
Inter-Canyon spokesman Dan Hatlestad said the driver parked Engine 631 when he arrived. The truck at some point then slid backward about 100 yards on the snowy road and into the creek bed.
The driver, whose name was not released, sustained no injures, but there was damage to the body and undercarriage of the fire engine.
The Jeffco Sheriff's Office has enacted a stage 2 fire ban because of dry, windy conditions.
This ban, which is more stringent than the stage 1 ban in place since mid-February, prohibits the following:
• Building, maintaining, attending or using any fire.
• Recreational fires, including recreational campfires.
A fleeing suspect who threatened two law officers with a gun in South Jeffco, then was shot, in December 2015 was sentenced last Thursday to a total of 12 years in prison.
Michael Manaois, 39, pleaded guilty to felony charges of menacing, possession of a weapon by a previous offender, and second-degree assault of a peace officer, according to district attorney's spokeswoman Pam Russell.
The families of several students at Westridge Elementary in South Jeffco are alleging that school administrators have failed to adequately address a bullying problem in the third grade gifted-and-talented class, including physical incidents that were later reported to the Jeffco Sheriff's Office.
The melodic sound of the hammered dulcimer echoes through the halls of St. James Presbyterian Church, floating toward the sanctuary to combine with the gentle strum of the mountain dulcimer.
Though the two instruments technically have no relation outside of a shared name, both were celebrated at the 14th annual Colorado Dulcimer Festival. The event originated in Fort Collins but has since moved to Littleton.

text: WILMINGTON, Del., May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Andrews & Springer LLC, a boutique securities class action law firm focused on representing shareholders nationwide, is investigating potential breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Board of Directors of 1st United Bancorp, Inc. ("United" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FUBC) relating to the sale of the Company to Valley National Bancorp (NYSE: VLY) ("Valley National"). On May 8, 2014, the two companies announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Valley National will acquire United in a merger valued at roughly $312 million. As a result of the merger, United shareholders are only anticipated to receive 0.89 shares of Valley National common stock in exchange for each share of United share they own. Based on our investigation, the 0.89 shares of Valley National that United shareholders are expected to receive is unfair given that Valley National's stock price has continued on a downward spiral, trading as high as $10.80 per share on April 24, 2014 and closing yesterday at $9.76 per share. Andrews & Springer is investigating whether United directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the company and maximize shareholder value.

Hillary Clinton made a special appearance on Wednesday's episode of Broad City and, as expected, Abbi (Abbi Jacobson) and Ilana (Ilana Glazer) totally lost their minds.
"It's alright, just take your time," Hillary said with a smile as the main characters of the Comedy Central comedy freaked out over meeting the presidential hopeful.

Ilana, who had spent the episode volunteering at Hillary's NYC headquarters -- and referring to herself as "Ilana Rodham Wexler" -- before realizing that she wasn't being paid for her work, apologized to "Secretary Clinton, Madam Presidente, She-King" for having to leave the campaign.

"I can't afford to volunteer here full time, but I still want to get the word out," Ilana promised. "So I vow to tweet once a week, 'Vote for Hillary, yas, yas, yas.'"
"That would be great," Hillary assured. "We need to drum up some excitement for the campaign, do everything that we possibly can."

"Of course, we assumed it it was a he," Ilana admitted as the three snuggled in for a hug.
"Oh no," Hillary guaranteed. "It's a she."

"I don't remember, like, words happening." Ilana admitted of filming with the former First Lady.
"We were very lucky because the scene is Abbi and Ilana freaking out meeting Hillary Clinton, so we just got to freak out," Abbi agreed. "We freaked out so hard and to her face."

I can't address the 10K round issue, as mine has only about 1.5k flawless rounds through it. I just wanted to say that if you get a P99, try to find one with the "AS" trigger, rather than the QA. The AS seems to be the preferred version.
This Walther P99 QA Military in 9MM is talking to me,it seems like a "real tool" and i was wondering if anybody has logged 10,000 rounds thru one.Any problems with feeding,extraction,loss of accuracy or breakdowns?Pics of well used examples greatly appreciated.
I can't address the 10K round issue, as mine has only about 1.5k flawless rounds through it. I just wanted to say that if you get a P99, try to find one with the "AS" trigger, rather than the QA. The AS seems to be the preferred version.
I do not know anything about different triggers on them but i have never been disappointed about buying mine,although i do wish it had the kind of trigger on my little Colt Mustang.I am looking forward to reports on this 10,000 round reliability test.Mine has only been fired maybe 500 shots.
Mine has fired zero rounds and it's holding up nicely.
I'm guessing Shipwreck might have come close but he has so many guns it would be tough to know if he's had the time.
I have around 1500 rounds through my P99 QA 9mm. It has been flawless with WWB, CCI Alum and Federal Hydro-Shok ammo. The QA trigger isn't bad but it is different than my M&P. I like the M&P trigger a little better but pretty much they are the same. Everybody raves about the AS trigger but I've never fired one and really don't intend to. The QA is just fine for me since I didn't expect it to be a target gun and like the consistent trigger pull. P99 QA is my bedside gun and my M&P is my carry. The PX4 is for target and home defense and the P22 is for cheap practice. You can't go wrong with the P99 QA but it won't be your last gun.
I've had a P99 QA 9mm in Military Green for about a year and a half, and have at least 8000 rounds through it. The only failures I have ever had were in exactly two categories:
1) I failed to seat the magazine fully; the first round fired, second failed to feed, because the blowback caused the magazine to slip down in the well, making the feed ramp too high. This has exactly happened twice, and I have learned to slap the mag lightly on the butt with the palm of my hand -- a habit I've learned to apply to ALL my autos, for the very same reason.
2) I had two shells out of the same box of 100 WWB that wouldn't chamber completely. Both appeared to be round (!), but neither shell would chamber all the way in my Browning High Power, either. I threw 'em out, and although suspicious of the rest of the box, had no further problems.
I have since switch my preferred range round to Remington UMC, which I buy in the 250-round box, and have never had a similar problem.
For the first 6 months, it was my primary range gun, and ran 200-300 rounds per week through it, and I still run 50-100 rounds through it at most range visits.
The P99 remains the gun that fits my hand best, by far. And, just like a fine camera, what finds the hand well, works better. The P99 is an incredible bit of engineering.
The only real signs of use it shows are some brassing around the ejection port, predictable wearing of the black tennifer finish on the block part of the barrel around the chamber where the slide slides over it (well, that's what a slide does!), and a few minute -- really small -- scratches and dings on the slide. VERY small, very few. Internally, there are a couple trigger components that are shiny, but not visibly worn.
The QA trigger takes a little getting used to, but it has done a great job of teaching me to squeeze. Like others have said, it's a long, steady, moderately heavy pull, but after a few thousand rounds, it's VERY smooth. I'd have to say that apart from being a bit smoother, it really feels very little different than the day I bought it; the barrel fits the bushing as snugly as ever, the slide has no play, the little hardened steel rail-nubs that are cast into the frame are burnished, but not worn; there's no play or looseness of any kind.
I am sure I will have this gun for a long time, and that it will continue to shoot many more thousands of rounds with no problems. It has that kind of feel about it.
For perspective, this Walther has sold me at least one other, and -- someday -- I'd love to add a P-88...
Walthers, in order of acquisition:
P-38 (WWII family heirloom)
PP .380 (Interarms era, inherited NEW late last year)
Colt Huntsman .22 (bought very slightly used in 1972)
SiG Hammerli Trailside .22, Millet Redot (awesomely accurate)
Browning Buckmark .22, Millet Redot
Browning High Power (satin chrome) w/JPoint
Colt .45 Mark IV Government
Wow that is a glowing review if I ever saw one. I may consider this one soon as I am starting to look for a 9mm.
The P99 grip was designed by Cesare Moroni who is renown for anatomic grips for olympic pistols. I find my P99 to be extremely pointable and very amenable to muscle memory marksmanship.
P99 fans fall into 2 camps. AS and QA.
P99 AS gives you 3 trigger modes. SA mode is light, smooth and fast. The best SA in a DA/SA gun. Yhe Anti Stress, or long pull 2 stage SA, is a redundant feature, intended to reduce ND with DA trigger distance with 2 stage SA pull after slide is racked. DA provides double strike capability.
P99 QA has the same trigger action for all shots. The QA trigger is superior if you train to hold the trigger at the reset point for followup shots. If you train emergency clearance drills, double strike capability is not missed on the QA. Admittedly, the QA trigger feels gritty when new, but smooths up nicely after 500 rounds.
The only feature that might be worrisome is the 2 piece plastic recoil guide rod. It's alarmingly flexible, but has never failed on me.
I've shot over 12,000 rounds through my P99 QA with no failures. The gun delivers 2" groups from strings shot at 25yds. The gun feels capable of doing better than I can shoot. The only mod has been to polish the trigger face when new to remove plastic graining. In fact, the trigger feels better the more I shoot it. Its probably due for a new recoil spring now.
But, mary a problem with the gun. I wouldn't worry about anything.
Be aware that you should change the recoil spring at 5,000.
I have a spare already for when the day comes.
In the short time that I've owned my P99 AS in a .40 S&W, I've put only about 500 rounds through it - mostly Winchester 165gr FMJ's. I have however had a couples issues, specifically if I put a round in the chamber and have a full magazine of ten (live in NY), after firing the first round, the next round will feed into the top of the barrel and hang. This issue seems to occur more frequently if I use Winchester 180gr hollow points and I attribute this to the magazine spring being so tight, it ends up forcing the round up too far. This only occurs when there are ten rounds in the magazine, and not with 1 round in the chamber and 9 in the magazine.
I've put 1200 rounds through my P99c, mostly WWB, with exactly ONE FTF..... Those are pretty damn good results! I have done that in 6 months and noted only slight wear on barrel block at top of slide. Walther's, whatever the model, are top of the line and reliable. The AS trigger in the compact model gives me the ability to shot SA and DA, and with a 15 round mag and grip extension it gives me two pistols on one frame. Also, the compact is VERY easy to is use as a CCW. The AS trigger is very light pull when slide pulled, but you can use the decocker to drop it back into a longer DA pull that is safer for carry. IF you want to pop it back into light SA mode you just have to pull the slide back about an inch and you have the SA mode again. Germans make great guns, beer and cars! What gets me is that idiots at gun shops and shows know very little about Walther and are in a love affair with those blocky, cheap looking Glocks. The technology , style and performance of Walther to Glock is like comparing Yugo to McClaren SLR.... H&K are great also, but the $1k+ price tags on them is outrageous. Walthers are the best gun buy today. Also, the P22s are so cheap that it is a waste not to pick one up as a fun target practice gun....with CHEAP ammo!...The current ones are very reliable!

"we had these made to use as thank yous for gifts from showers for our unborn to-be adopted child. The first set was misdelivered or taken but Tiny Prints made sure that replacements were in our house the same week. Thanks for taking away the stress!!!"

posted: Dec. 26, 2008 @ 5:44p
For the past two years around this time, I started a thread where people could describe all of the ups and downs of their careers, including their level of compensation. I find these threads particularly informative and interesting. The 2006 thread became quite lengthy and a lot of people contributed a lot of great information about their careers. The 2007 thread got off to a strong start, then fizzled out kind of quickly. Still, there were a decent number of posts and information in that thread.
So, I'll give it another shot. If the thread continues to be informative and successful, I'll start a new thread annually. If not, well, people will have the past threads for reference.
Please let's try to keep this a positive, informative thread, and let's not get into any arguments about how one's career/education/compensation makes him/her superior/inferior to other people. Contribute as much or as little information as you're comfortable sharing, but please be honest so that this may serve as a truly informative thread for people mulling their career options.
So, now that the ground rules have been set, how'd your job go this year? Did things go well or not so well? How well were you compensated for 2008? Did the poor economy have a serious effect on your career? Maybe each person can give a brief description of themselves, their job, their education levels, and their salaries, present and maybe even projected salaries for the future. As always, since I'm starting the thread, I have to bite first:
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Location: NJ
Occupation: Urban Educator (My fancy title for a teacher in a city of low socioeconomic standing)
Education: M.A., plus some additional credits
2008 Salary: $74,000 (70K Base + $4K for extra activities and a bit of summer work.) This figure was a little lower than I expected. We don't have a contract right now, so base salaries have been frozen since September. In addition, I got screwed out of some extra duties that I did last year. (I was told no teachers would get extra school duties, then a few days later a whole bunch of other teachers were given extra duties. It wasn't hard feelings against me, just poor planning and the other people happening to be in the right place at the right time.) I earned $66,000 in 2007, and $60,000 in 2006.
Future Salary Projection: Tough to say for this year. Our contract negotiations are going poorly. If we settle this year, I should make around 80K base for the 2009 calendar year, plus retro pay (a few thousand). If I can get some summer work and extra duties during the next school year, I could add on another 2-3K. I expect to make about $100K within the next 4 years.
Benefits: Full medical, modest dental, generous sick and personal time, a decent pension plan, tremendous job security once you achieve tenure (but virtually none before that, and even with tenure, you can still have the daylights menaced out of you. Also keep in mind that not all states offer tenure, in which case you can pretty much be fired at will no matter how much time you have in a particular district.) I learned first-hand about the importance of these benefits this year when I was out with a long-term illness for several weeks. Because I had many sick days accumulated, I got full pay for my time out (thank goodness).
What's the job like?
Very difficult. Tremendously long hours, almost no down time during the school day (I don't take lunch very often),lots of work at home, deplorable working conditions, with some classrooms reaching temperatures of 90+ degrees and others below freezing. Prepare to adopt some small scurrying pets who have made your classroom their home in older buildings in urban districts. You will also most likely need to spend a decent amount of money on supplies for students because your school won't provide them, even though they insist on your using them. Very little respect and support from most supervisors, parents, and students. I do it for the good kids and because I love teaching.
Would you recommend the career to others?
It's getting harder and harder to recommend teaching as a career, especially in an ubran district. Each year more and more demands are placed on you, while more resources are taken away from you. There are plenty of people who are ready to tell you you're a horrible teacher, but these same people won't tell you why you're a horrible teacher or how you can improve. My current principal has been good to me, but I've been in a situation with a principal who always told me what a horrible teacher I was but refused to tell me what I was doing wrong or how I could make improvements.
Some components of our curriculum have reached new levels of madness (and I didn't think that was possible). Our literacy program this year, for example, requires students to be in differentiated groups. And within those groups, activities have to be further differentiated for students according to ther testing strengths and weaknesses. Oh, and you have to design the center activities.
The students have to do these activities independently, but of course, most (especially the younger students) can't. The facts that we have many students who are unable to read at grade level (or at all) and who have never learned to work cooperatively with other students doesn't seem to matter to the powers that be.
So chaos ensues, with kids in groups playing around and arguing. Meanwhile, you can't help them or discipline them, because at the same time, you have to meet with another group and assess their reading. This is not a once in a while thing. This is daily. And there's no other time in the day to help the students learn how to work successfully in groups. Then you have to display work from every subject in your room, with descriptions, evaluations, and state standards. You have to make giant charts for all the skills you're teaching and display them too. And you can't make charts or grade papers during the day (unless it's during a prep or a lunch period, and even both of these periods combined don't provide nearly enough time to do all this stuff).
I also teach computers. We moved to a new building, with new computers. But I haven't been allowed to use the new computers yet. So I've had to teach computers in the classrooms with worksheets. Construction on the building was not complete, but we were forced to have school there, because there was nowhere else for us to go. Meanwhile, we've had rooms leak, the heat break down, and tons of other problems. And we can't even get into classrooms because we haven't gotten keys yet. Every time we need to get into a room, we have to hunt down a custodian (in an 80,000 sq. ft. school).
If you do decide to become a teacher in NJ, you will be paid well compared to teachers in most other parts of the country. There is, however, an astonishingly wide gap between affluent and needy districts in NJ. NJ's suburbs are some of the most beautiful in the country, and NJ's inner cities are some of the toughest in the country. You will earn every dime of the money you make, especially in an urban district. (See above.)
I struggle every day with whether I should start to look for other opportunities. I want to stay to help the truly deserving kids, but the annual increases in the level of nonsense (very little of it having to do with the kids) are making the decision tougher and tougher, despite the good pay.
Every year I begin by saying, "It can't be any crazier than last year. " And every year, it gets crazier. Oh well, hopefully in another 20 years, I can retire!

Dan woiuld never meet you face to face because he would never have the courage to say to your face what he says to people here. That's why he puts "man" behind his name. He needs verification, he needs it to feel tough. Because in reality he is just the opposite, a small, meek frightened person. The forum gives him the courage that he lacks in reality.
He spends his days here because he is a noboby in the real world. Tha's probably why he is so mean and hateful here.. He has nothing, he has no one. He has been caught lying about his job. He has had jobs from A to Z, and all in a short time. So of course he loves Obama, another 4 years of not worrying about getting a job. His hand can stay out and he can play on the computer all day being abusive to others. In the real world someone would have put him in his place, but like I said, that's why he does his verbal abuse and hate behind the safety of a screen, because he is as far from being a "man" that one can get.
He loves attention, negative or positive. It's the only time pay attention to him....here on the forum. He thinks being laughed at and mocked is people being obsessed with him...if he is ignored here then he willhave nothing, his world will fall apart.
He is a pathetic low life loser that lies, abuses people, and lacks integrity.

I'm not talking ABOUT you. I'm talking TO you.
I'm talking ABOUT the issue of your claim that Jesus said "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime."
Except Jesus never said that. That's a Chinese proverb.
But you didn't know that. You came trying to debate the Bible but you know NOTHING about the Bible. You came trying to claim you're a Christian, but you don't follow the Bible - you follow a political ideology and use the Bible to justify it.
Like I said originally - you have no standing to say anything about what Jesus taught. Your religion is a failed political ideology that I and others have systematically dismantled here.
Give it up, Roger the Racist. You simply aren't emotionally, intellectually, or morally equipped to debate ANYTHING here.

Not THIS is talking ABOUT somebody.
This is vivid fantasies about someone's personal life. This demonstrates a pathological fixation on my personal life. This demonstrates a sick obsession with me.
This demonstrates the worst case of DTMDS that I've ever seen.

Oh, grow up.
This is soooo typical for the mentally challenged wingnut - they can't hold their own in a debate about ideas so they resort to middle school threats of physical fights.
When someone can't defend their argument with facts and ideas and words, they become frustrated and resort to physical threats. It's the classic tactic of the mentally challenged school-yard bully.
Grow up, Roger the Racist. We all know you're stupid and dim-witted. You don't have to prove it with childish, dumbass posts like this. LOL!

Danny the boy is self projectiong again. Get a life loser. Oh you can't...your life is here on topix. You have no one in the real world so all that's left is your computer world.
Says he has a family, yet he neglects them by being here all the time. Just another lie, the only family Danny the boy has is the one that left him. That is if he even had one. His wife probably got tired of competing with a computer and got fed up with his arrogant, abusive attitude.
If he had kids, they to were neglected.
Yep, got that one right. Angry Danny the boy, has no one so he lives his life on topix.
He is a multiple personality poster. Probably also suffers from multiple personality disorder in the real world too. Such a pathetic loser. Always calling people names, yet he accuses other posters of middle school behavior. I guess he thinks namecalling is being an adult.
No one likes him here and no one likes him in the real world either. He's just an obnoxious, foul mouthed loser and no one likes people like that.
If anyone needs to grow up, Danny the boy does...then he can be called a man. Until that happens, he's just Danny the boy, and that's all he'll ever be, just an angry, mean and hateful boy.

Hey danny boy, why not tell us the truth why your black ex, dumped you and why you try and defend the black race. No one local likes you, the blacks and whites can't stomach you. Your once family has nothing to do with you. You are a control freak danny, your daughter puts up with you to a point. You just can't stand NOT be in charge.

Yea I noticed that too. I also have noticed that the Danny the boy/bobby6464, are obsessed with Marisa. Interesting huh? Danny the boy gives himself way too much credit. Thinks no one will figure out he is multiple posters.

Studies constitutional structure: judicial review, federalism, separation of powers; and constitutional rights of due process and equal protection.
Presents a comprehensive study of federal civil rights statutes briefly reviewed in other courses (e.g., Constitutional Law or Federal Courts). Studies federal civil rights statutes, their judicial application,and their interrelationships as a discretely significant body of law of increasing theoretical interest and practical importance.
Considers issues raised by the interaction of law and education. Issues may include the legitimacy of compulsory schooling, alternatives to public schools, socialization and discipline in the schools, and questions of equal educational opportunities.
Covers practices and procedures of administrative agencies and limitations thereon, including the Federal Administrative Procedure Act, and the relationship between courts and agencies.
Studies state legislative and judicial control of the activities, powers, and duties of local governmental units, including home-rule cities and counties, and some problems of federal, state, and local constitutional and statutory limitations on governmental powers when exercised by local governmental units (e.g., the powers to regulate private activities, tax, spend, borrow money, and condemn private property for public uses). Offered in alternate years.
Examines the rapidly evolving field of election law: the right to vote, voting procedures, redistricting, candidate selection, campaign finance laws, and direct democracy. Emphasizes federal law, including applicable constitutional jurisprudence.
Studies selected tort actions and theories. Topics covered may include "Dignitary torts" (e.g., defamation, privacy, etc.), business torts, and product liability. Offered in alternate years.
Examines the judiciary's approach to racial discrimination from America's colonial period to thepresent day. Concludes with an analysis of the contemporary status of racial subordination in the legal system and considers recent scholarly critiques of the law's limitations in effecting racial justice. Employs an interdisciplinary approach and covers the experiences of American Indians, African Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, and Chicana/os.
Addresses "Equal Protection" rights under the Fourteenth Amendment and "Privacy" rights to personal autonomy. Analyzes varied constitutional grounds for recognizing or rejecting abortion rights; limits on Congressional power to pass civil rights laws granting broader rights than the Fourteenth Amendment does; treatment of sexual orientation-related laws and government actions as "Privacy" versus "Equality" matters; and "Benign"/"remedial" race- and sex-based government decisions such as affirmative action and same-sex schools.
Explores the development of "Our Federalism", the relationship between federal and state governments, from the founding period of the US Supreme Court's recent New Federalism jurisprudence. Studies historical material, commentary, and case law, and addresses how federalism is defined; the values that federalism serves; the role of federalism in our interconnected, global society; the Supreme Court's boundaries of federalism; the direction of New Federalism.
Addresses past and continuing debates involving potential tensions between antidiscrimination principles and free speech, free exercise, and establishment clause values. Examines constitutional protections under the First Amendment and the equal protection clause, together with an array of existing and proposed federal and state antidiscrimination laws regulating employment,housing, and public accommodations, among other areas.
Examines legal structures and concepts typically found in constitutions, including judicial review, distinction between legislative and executive authority, federalism and the principle of subsidiarity, the relationship between church andstate, free speech and press, and social welfare rights. Examines differences between constitutional law and other domestic law, role of comparative constitutional law in domestic constitutional law adjudication. Emphasizes American and Swedish perspectives.
Examines how the institutions, practices, and the very identity of law are in part affected by the media through which law is apprehended and communicated. Hence the general question posed in this seminar: To what extent and how are the forms and methods of the new media having an effect on the perception, role, and identity of law? This is a year-long seminar.
Explores how theories of social freedom and self-governance developed in the United States. Analyzes the most controversial socio-legal issues as they relate to privacy, equal protection and other questions of substantive due process. Discusses recent trends in national security and information privacy to evaluate their overall relevance to civil liberties and nascent influence on the fundamental rights debate in the US and abroad.
