What is the effect of urinary obstruction on the kidney?
The pressure on the kidneys and the urinary infections result in damage to the kidneys. The damage can progress to renal insufficiency and end-stage kidney disease which require renal dialysis or a kidney transplant.
What are the signs and symptoms of cystinuria?
The stones that form in cystinuria are directly or indirectly responsible for all of the signs and symptoms of the disease, including:
- Hematuria - blood in the urine;
- Flank pain - pain in the side, due to kidney pain;
- Renal colic - intense, cramping pain due to stones in the urinary tract;
- Obstructive uropathy - urinary tract disease due to obstruction; and
- Urinary tract infections.
What use is early diagnosis?
Because of the potential effectiveness of treatment, early diagnosis of cystinuria is important in all persons, regardless of age, who form urinary stones. Failure to diagnose cystinuria early and treat it consistently with the utmost vigor can result in morbidity (illness) and mortality (death). Survival may depend upon dialysis or a kidney transplant.
How is cystinuria treated?
High fluid intake: The foremost aim of treatment is to prevent the formation of cystine stones. This goal is attained mainly by increasing the volume of urine. The reason for the increased urine volume is simple. By increasing the volume of urine, the concentration of cystine in the urine is reduced which prevents cystine from precipitating from the urine and forming stones.
Cystine stones in many patients can be dissolved and new ones prevented by a high fluid intake. What high fluid intake means in this context is an absolute minimum of 4 liters (roughly 4 quarts) per day. An intake of 5 to 7 liters a day is ideal. The fluids must be spaced out, including through the night. It has been said that people with cystinuria must realize that "for them, water is a necessary drug."
Alkalizing the urine: Another strategy that has been attempted to treat cystinuria is alkalization of the urine. The rationale is that in an alkaline (nonacidic) liquid, cystine tends to stay in solution and there it does no harm. To make the urine alkaline, sodium bicarbonate (and similar substances) have been used. This treatment is not without hazard because it can, while preventing cystine stones, lead to the formation of other types of kidney stones.
Penicillamine: For people with cystinuria in whom a consistent, conscientious high fluid intake does not succeed in halting the formation of stones, another option available is regular treatment with a drug called penicillamine. Penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen) acts to form a complex with cystine that is 50 times more soluble than cystine itself. The side effects of penicillamine are rarely severe enough to prevent its use.
Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL): The stones in cystinuria are too dense to be broken up by shock waves produced outside the body (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) as can be done with some other types of common kidney stones. Instead, a technique designed for removing dense (and very large) stones is utilized: percutaneousnephrolithotripsy (PCNL).
PCNL is performed via a port created by puncturing the kidney through the skin and enlarging the access port to 1 cm (about 3/8 inch) in diameter. There is no surgical incision. PCNL is done under real-time live x-ray control (fluoroscopy). Because x-rays are involved, a super-specialist in radiology (an interventional radiologist) may perform this part of the procedure. The endourologist (another subspecialist) then inserts instruments via this port into the kidney to break up the stone and remove most of the debris from the stone.

Hey BRC Citizens!
My name is Ginger Foxx and for the past year or so my dream has been to bring gluten free and vegan pizza to burning man, and this is the year to make it happen! I believe that EVERYONE should be able to enjoy a hot slice of pizza on a cold playa night.
I have some AWESOME rewards to give away, such as:
Buttons, Stickers, and Patches:
Personally delivering pizza to you/your camp/someone of your choice on the playa this year! This would be a great opportunity to throw a pizza party for your theme camp as a "Thank You" for all their hard work.
I would really love your support and any donation you can make! Every little bit helps, because if this doesn't get funded there will be no awesome alternative pizza options and that will make people sad.
You can check out The Pizza Project and donate here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sar ... a-for-burn
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Seriously...don't hold your breath.
May I ask what you told them your reason for carrying is?
Vermont does not issue Permit/Licenses to Carry a Concealed firearm. Vermont allows anyone
who can legally own a firearm to carry it concealed without a permit of any kind.
all lawful purpose and protection of life
Might be a long wait then. Like til the state of Mass thinks your life is worth protecting.
It Depends on the Town in MA
LTC's are decided by each local PD
If the Chief and his issuing officer are lenient
you stand a fair chance
But you may get a limited LTC the first issue
On the other hand if the Chief is real restrictive
I had my MA LTC from 1980 - 2003 then I moved south
JUST as the new more restrictive laws went into effect
Guns per 1000 residents by town in MA
Yep. It all depends on what town you live in. Mass is a "may issue" state. The local PD Chief has final say on who gets one. Like Jeff mentioned, if he/she is more lenient and typically allows permits you may have a fair shot. If you live someplace like Boston..... no one gets it.
You actually have a better chance of getting an out-of-state permit which goes throught the State Police than you have of getting an in-state if you llive in a more restricted area.
Good luck though. I hope you can at least get something.

Good luck, hopefully you live in a green town. Even then it can take up to 12wks depending on back log.
While people are saying "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, ... and they will not escape. 1Th 5:3
If it's as hard as I'm hearing for a direct Mass permit - maybe find another state that allows a non-resident permit that has Mass in it's list - or - see if you can get on as a Reserve Police Officer somewhere and let your PD ID be your permit via H.R. 218
For God, Family and Country!
Mass honors no other states carry permit.
The misconception is Mass is totally anti-gun/pistol permit, only in a few towns and the city of Boston.
As a Mass resident I have fewer restrictions on my carrying than most gun-friendly states. What does stink about Ma. is the restrictions on what I can carry.
While people are saying "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, ... and they will not escape. 1Th 5:3
as far as time and acceptence what town you are in matters but your race is going to matter alot too, sad to say. dispite the aperance of mass as being a progressive post rasism liberal utopia, if you are not white it is going to take longer and will be more likley to be denied. i lived in Mass before i moved to NYC and bouth my parents obtained LTC's
I just received my un-restricted class A in Natick. Took about 5 weeks from the day I submitted my form. Depending on where you live, they might limit your license. This is the first time I applied, and I had good references (know the Chief), so I didn't have any problem. If you don't have a history, they have to issue you a license, just not a LTC.
I've carried a handgun since I was 18 years old. Military Police then State Police. Have had a DE CCDW since I retired from the State Police.
That was ok until I recently retired from my second profession, Security Manager for a DuPont Research Facility. Now that I am retired my DE CCDW does not serve my purpose as we intend to travel the country. I'm in the process of getting the National HR 218 permit for active LEO and retired LEO's which is recognized nationwide. Still will have a lot of different State Laws to become familiar with.
Wish you well with your cc process, hope you have a favorable outcome.

One can only hope.........
This is a discussion on Signs That The Panic is Tapering within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; In the past couple of weeks I have seen a number of signs in my area that the 'panic' that we've been under is abating ...
In the past couple of weeks I have seen a number of signs in my area that the 'panic' that we've been under is abating and supply is beginning to return to somewhat of a decent level on guns as well as ammo. Here are my observations:
a) Ammo is becoming relatively practical to find at major outlets like Academy and Bass Pro Shop. They still have restrictions on the most popular calibers, but the supply is lasting hte better part of a day (I hit the same Academy twice today and got Remington UMC 9mm morning and afternoon). Also, the restricted caliber lists are becoming a bit silly, things like 7.62x54 really don't need to be limited because they aren't selling out.
b) Guns, ARs and hi cap semi auto pistols, are becoming easier to find. I was at a LGS this past weekend that had literally every model Glock and M&P in the case with more in the back at pre panic prices. When I bought my LC9 last week (more on that later), the store had 8 others in stock as well. Both of the Cabelas in my area have more ARs than I can count on their shelves, everything from basic Bushmasters to some pretty high dollar models like DPMS.
c) The gougers are getting right where they deserve it (I only partially mean the bottom line). A LGS in this area that was listing some absolutely insane prices recently has slashed them back to somewhere near reality. They had two Shields in stock in the case for $799, I went by the other day and they are now $499. Their 9mm Gold Dots were post Newtown immediately jacked up to $79.99 a box, they are now $49.99. Their mags are still way up there, but they are stocked up in huge quantities mainly because no one will pay their prices anymore.
d) Used guns are surging, mainly from the paranoid idiots who bought ARs for any asking price imaginable right after Newtown 'just in case they're banned'. Most of these idiots now realized that they have a gun that they don't want, can't afford, isn't going to be banned, and can't be sold for anything remotely near where what they paid for it. As much as I despise the gougers, I have zero sympathy for the panicky paranoid idiots.
In conclusion, are we headed for the days of $7 9mm? No. But it is abundantly clear that new gun laws on a national level aren't happening, the sellers market has dimmed due to buyers either smartening up or running out of money, and supply is now headed to at least a decently reasonable status in the near future.
One can only hope.........

--Thomas B. Reed, American Attorney
Second Amendment -- Established December 15, 1791 and slowly eroded ever since What happened to "..... shall not be infringed."
I know things are looking up when a place that had a Colt 6920 marked at $2800 a couple months back has them just sitting on the shelf for $1099 now.
From what I've seen locally...the gougers are still out early morning and waiting in line at Wal Marts to buy up the supply then posting on armslist for double. It's still hit or miss. Second hand ordeal here. I did get a couple of 100rd boxes WWB 40S&W for retail however. I will be shooting something this year and I don't care what it is so long as I shoot.
Seems like a conspiracy against me that my nearest WM quit getting anything and the one further from me still seems to have something after 10am...even if it's leftovers. LOL!
We are in the second wave of panic buying around here. The ammo is coming in more frequently so the guys that didn't go crazy before are stockpiling everything they can get there hands on. So as it gets better the people get worse.
I've been noticing the same as I track the prices for an AR that I would like to purchase within the next few months. The same can also be said about magazines-- I just ordered two 33rd mags for my G17, and was pleased to see them going for $30~. Last gun show I was at had them anywhere from $45-90~.
Hopefully some of the bulk ammo sites will reign in their prices.. It was great to get 500rds of Remington 9mm last summer for just over $100.. The same item, albeit back-ordered, is currently listed at $409
I just ordered 4 PMags for $15.95 ea the other day. They were in stock, shipped the next day and in my hands 3 days from the date I ordered them.
I still have a couple on backorder at Midway which hasn't shipped. They may have lost or cancelled the order. I had two seperate orders at Midway, and I got the one order a couple months ago, so they may have lost the second order.
I'm happy I found the ones I bought the other day. And for regular prices. So, I definitely think the squeeze is easing up.

Well MJB, I'm one of your "idiots" right here, got my .22ar in January, over paid for it but have decided instead of being upset about it to embrace this gun and tacky it up as much as I can and have fun with it! Was looking at a fancy smancy sight with a battery today to put on it, might even paint it red since I have always wanted a red gun and glue pretend diamonds & rubies on it. Probably can get a bike horn to fit on top too if it won't get in the way of the sight and some tassels hanging off the barrel end that will blow with the wind when shot!

I agree it is easing up. On Sunday a local Walmart actually had a box or two of .40 an .45 left which is something I haven't seen in 6 moths.
Here is the gunbot page for 9mm; GunBot find 9mm ammo in stock Most of the stores listed show in stock. Many of them are still trying to sell at ridiculous prices, e.g. $1.00+ per round, but some of them are down to about $0.37/round, which is still high ($18 per box of 50) but less than it was a few weeks ago. As it doesn't sell at the inflated prices they will drop, just slowly.
I been noticing a slow return to sanity for at least 6 weeks now in my part of Texas. Plenty of guns at all the lgs and a good steady supply of ammo in all calibers. Heck one local Wally had 20 boxes of 380 come in Thursday morning and this Monday they still had 17 of them on the shelf another Wally had 15 boxes of 223 on the shelf at 2pm, that was unheard of a few weeks ago.
I have to agree, seeing the ammo being more available and in stock in the box stores and watching armslist and gun owners club return to some level of normal.
I think it's gonna be a good summer! I see great deals on used guns and stacks of ammo in my future .
Think there were some of us saying things would be getting back to normal around June.
The stupidity of some people NEVER ceases to amaze me.
I'm hoping to capitalize on these idiots that are ditching their overpriced ARs so I can build an M16A4 clone for my birthday on the cheap.

Feb. 22, 2013
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - Brittany Gardner picked up where she left off last season by throwing a one-hitter and Lauren Moore belted a three-run home run in the first inning to lead Loyola University Chicago (1-0) to a 7-0 victory over Rhode Island (0-2) this afternoon at the Kickin' Chicken Classic. With the win, the Ramblers pick up their first season-opening victory since 2009.
After Gardner made quick work of the Rams in the top of the first, Loyola got up all of the offense it would need in its half of the inning. Brooke Andresen and Jessica Balzano coaxed back-to-back walks to lead off the frame before Moore clubbed a three-run shot to put the Ramblers on top for good.
Following a pitching change, Annie Korth singled and scored two outs later on Tarran Shaffer's single to right field to cap the Ramblers' four-run first inning.
Andresen, who inched closer to Loyola's all-time hits record (177) with three hits against URI, gave the Ramblers an insurance run in the fourth inning when her RBI single brought home Olivia Bell, who had reached on a two-out error.
The Ramblers would add two more runs for good measure in the bottom of the fifth thanks to Lauren Zaworski's pinch-hit, run-scoring single, and Shaffer's sacrifice fly.
Gardner was sensational and did not allow a hit until Lauren Klepchick's two-out single through the right side of the infield in the top of the sixth inning. That would be the only hit off the reigning Horizon League Pitcher of the Year, who finished the game with six strikeouts. The lefthander, who tossed a pair of no-hitters last spring, now has two one-hitters to her credit in her Loyola career.
Andresen and Moore finished with three hits apiece and Shaffer knocked home a pair of runs for Loyola, which pounded out 10 hits off two Rams pitchers. Andresen raised her career total to 169 hits, putting her eight behind Loyola's career leader, Ellen Antonacci (177).
The Ramblers' scheduled contest versus Coastal Carolina tonight was postponed due to rain.
Loyola continues play at the Kickin' Chicken Classic Saturday when it faces Coastal Carolina at 3 p.m. Eastern, followed by Rhode Island at 5 p.m. Eastern.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
1.) First you come meet our Canines, and fill out an application. We have a fairly simple Adoption Application. Most information I will personally record at the time of home visit. After this if everything on your Application looks good, we will contact your personal references.
2.) After your references check out... We will do a home visit. Our home visit is very simple, myself and the Dog / Pup that you are interested in will stop by, see how well everyone interacts, and that everything on your application is confirmed. The home visit will take between 35 - 45 minutes. If everything goes well and everyone is content...
3.) We will throughly go over your information, the conditions in our Adoption Contract, and finally sign and seal the adoption. We follow up with our dogs/pups to see how everything is going after adoption. We love these dogs and puppies, so we make sure they are going to the best home possible. Dog ownership is very healthy in many ways. They provide happiness and love, and we expect them to be given the same in return. Please make sure that you are ready for a dog before you get one. You could save a life choosing to adopt, but on the same token, you could save a life if you think about what you are doing before you make a mistake. With the goal of permanent homes in mind, we have a 7 day settling in period. This was put in place so that when people get one of our dogs home and find that it really was not going to work, they are more than welcome to bring the dog back. On the other hand we do want to ensure that people are committed to these dogs, so after that 7 day period has elapsed the dog becomes the sole responsibility of that person. As stated and initialed in our Adoption Contract, the dog MUST be returned to us if the Adopter decides to relinquish this animal.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Tomorrow's election in Morocco will probably witness a triumph for the Justice and Development Party(JDP) whose goals are remarkably similar to the Justice and Development Party of Turkey. Both are Islamic in leadership, but also pragmatic in seeking to stimulate the economy rather than engage in rhetoric about wiping out Israel or seeking to impose strict religious practices upon the nation. It should gain about 90 seats in the 325 lower house of the legislature. It promises to end corruption, create an independent judiciary, and uphold the law. Its main competitor will be the Democratic Bloc which contains more secular minded Moroccans.
King Mohamed IV will undoubtedly support this move toward democracy. Two Jews will be running for Parliament, Maggie Cacoun and Youssef Levi who are members of the Social Middle Party. The best known Jewish political leader in Morocco, Andre Azuoulay, is a current adviser to the King.
President Bush is so caught up in rhetoric about democracy and fighting terrorism that he ignores two interesting political developments at the eastern and western ends of the Mediterranean Sea — Turkey and Morocco have moderate religious political parties that are working to establish effective governments. Perhaps, Hamas might learn something from their Moroccan and Turkish colleagues — end the era of rhetoric about destroying Israel and work to create effective modern governments.

I still say they are all white.. BUT I didn't realize there was one black or grey stud.
I still say they are all white.. BUT I didn't realize there was one black or grey stud.
which version?
thats not ESB, maybe a prepro? They DO look white in ESB, but there is definitely no grey one in ESB...
Note that the second image is from my Boba Fett Suit Fact Files thread.
In a way or other, the Pre-Pro #3 suit is the bonding link between the Pre-Pro #1 and ESB Hero suits. The Pre-Pro #3 has the same gauntlets and jetpack from the Pre-Pro #1 suit, while the ESB Hero has the soft parts and the shin tools from the Pre-Pro #3 suit. The main link between these suits is the same color scheme used on the armors and helmets (especially the Pre-Pro #3 and the ESB Hero).
Maybe that had to switch some out? None of the screen shots I looked at had a grey one...I was looking at the HD screen captures though, and they all look white to me...I could be wrong, though.
Nice catch.
It seems that all the images with the grey stud are from the hallway scene and the other scenes are with the all white studs (except the one red top stud):
Whatever stud combination you use (3 all white and 1 white with red top or 2 all white, 1 white with red top and 1 all grey) is screen accurate.
Isnt it nice when everyone is right?
On the top of the pics at start of thread the stud looks green ?
Ahh, thought i was seeing things

Pray for Debbie and Keith Myers, endorsed by IM to serve in Central MexicoNovember 16, 2011
Family July 2011
Debbie and Keith are newly endorsed missionaries to serve in Central, Mexico. They will partner with the Council of Rural Indigenous Evangelicals of Mexico, AR (CICEM) to provide pastoral accompaniment to the indigenous churches. This training consists of training pastors, church leaders, youth leaders and teachers for the children. They will travel to six different areas outside of Puebla to serve and empower the people.
Debbie writes: Several
years ago, we took a class called "Experiencing God" by Henry Blackeby. It was then that I realized that God wants a
personal relationship with me, a girl from Jane Lew, WV. God is at work in this world and He invites
us to join Him. That is super exciting
to me! When Boyden, our son was about 3
years old he asked "When are we moving to Africa?" I said "wait a minute God, I'm not moving to Africa". About a
couple years later we moved from a nice ranch style house on seven acres in the
country to a house that had many issues in a small town. There were vines
growing up the back of the house and in through the windows that were
cracked. Our neighbors were very close
to us and a little noisy. I did not want
to live in this town. Looking back this
was the best thing that could have happened to us.
Just as we have
fixed up the house, God molded and grew us spiritually. That first Christmas in our new, old house,
one of my friends drew me a wonderful picture.
She had drawn a lion, giraffe, elephant and other African animals around
the perimeter. In the middle of the
picture she wrote "Welcome to Africa". She told me that my Africa was Worthington, WV. Your Africa
is where God has placed you whether it is in your neighborhood, office, school
or in your home. God has called us all
to go and to love people. We will take
the picture that says "Welcome to Africa" to Puebla, Mexico. We have a love for people that we have never
met. The whole family can't wait to be
able to go, but we are trying to be patient raising the necessary support to be
on the field. I leave you with one
question, "Where is your Africa?"
- Pray for Debbie and Keith and their children Boyden and Baillie as they travel visiting churches and building relationships with believers seeking to raise the support they need to begin their ministry as American Baptist missionaries to Mexico.

I was wondering, is there a way to automate this is After Effects:
I'm currently making a timelapse video, and I really like the effect I get when I import an image over 4 frames, have the first frame at 50% opacity, the 2 middle frames 100 % opacity and have the last frame at 50% opacity with an over lap of the next image in the sequence, so it creates a fade in and out effect.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how this can be achieved? import an image, 4 frames in duration, with fade in and out applied, and be able to have the next image in the chain be coming in overlapping the last image? I really don't want to be doing this by hand, as I have a ton of images in my time lapse.
Thanks folks!

Coronary artery disease (CAD) or coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death worldwide and it is a complex disease influenced by multiple combinations of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Until now, many genomic regions and many variants in many genes were implicated as markers of greater susceptibility to develop CAD. To provide a useful and comprehensive gene resource of CAD, we constructed the Coronary Artery Disease Gene Database (CADgene) that was published in the 2011 NAR database issue.

Capital Gazette Profile of Perry Weed '61
From CapitalGaztte.com
Richard Bach, the American author of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and other best-sellers, once said, "A great life is the sum total of the worthwhile things you've been doing one by one." Everyone entering his or her bonus years should tack this quote on the refrigerator, the bathroom mirror or the cover page of your daily journal or devotional.
This quote kept bubbling up in my mind as I thought about the career of Annapolitan Perry Weed, who is a master at doing "worthwhile things." Perry, now well into his bonus years, continues to use his gifts for leading, writing, organizing and inspiring to strengthen the social infrastructure of the Annapolis area.
Perry was born in 1935 in Philadelphia. After attending Hamilton College in upstate New York, where he earned a degree in economics, he received his law degree from the University of Chicago. After that he was a political analyst and TV producer for WTTW, a major Chicago broadcaster, where he earned two Chicago Emmy nominations.
Perry then moved to Washington, D.C. where he was a special assistant for legislative affairs to U.S. Senator Adlai E. Stevenson III. After a stint with elected leaders, Perry spent the next 20 years in the private sector. After a move to the Eastern Shore to practice law, he served as a special assistant to U.S. Congressman Wayne Gilchrist, representing Maryland's 1st District, which also includes Anne Arundel County.

Full Description
Summary: "Take working clothes and be ready for adventures" In Cabrad you will have unforgettable experiences while renovating an old Slovak castle far from civilization!
Partner: The association RONDEL was established in the year 2000 and since then their main goal is repairing the ruins and promotion of Cabrad Castle and the area where it is located. Cabrad is one of the least-known castles in Slovakia and was built for a protection from the south for the mining towns in the time of Ottoman invasion. Workcamps have been organized there since 2012.
Work: Work will be focused on targeted interventions, in order to improve the status of Cabrad castle ruins. There are static defects (holes) in the masonry and volunteers will work there - in the preparation of stone, sand, mortar and material transport to the castle. The volunteers will help with cleaning the area of the castle, renovating the paths in the ruins. No specific skills required.
Study Part: The workcamp will be visited by INEX Messenger, who will organize a workshop focused on current issues in Europe. The volunteers will prepare "Feast of cultures" - an international food festival for the local community, and will join the "volunteering footprint" workshop. Our camps will follow the rules of Sustainability campaign.
* For more info about the project and the history of the castle please access: http://www.rondel.sk/inex-information/
The castle is located near the villages Cabradsky Vrbovok and Konske. They are villages near Krupina (16 km far away) located in the Central part of Slovakia. From the village Konske (4 km) you can get by walking to the ruins of the Cabrad Castle – the place of the workcamp. The meeting point will be in the village Cabradsky Vrbovok.
* Terminal: Airport – Bratislava; then train or bus to Zvolen, continuing by the bus to Krupina and then take the bus going to Cabradsky Vrbovok. Please keep in mind that the journey could take app. 4 hours, so please plan your journey to Bratislava with arrival in the morning.
* Meeting point: Cabradsky Vrbovok, local pub named "U mna", around 5 pm.
The Cabrad Castle is situated on the west slopes of Krupina Mountains. It is 4 km far from the civilization so there is no electricity and no public transport. The only water supply available is in the valley and has to be carried up. Accommodation is in the attic of the castle gate. There is a dry, wooden floor and mattresses are available. There is no heating and the nights are cold. Bring a warm sleeping bag and a mat. The building has 2 floors; you need to climb upstairs using a wooden ladder. There is no electricity in the castle - only candles and torches (it is highly recommended to bring your own). If you have your own tent, you can build it in the courtyard of the castle. A kitchen on solid fuel furnace, open fire, or a small camping gas cooker will be used for preparing meals. The volunteers will help with cooking. On demand, vegetarian meals can be provided.

The tasks can include creating simple play structures from natural materials (digging a hole, putting logs, branches, ropes), building an exercise area for dogs and a natural sauna, renovating flower beds in the town, planting bushes in case of good weather (digging holes, planting, watering), creating a ponton on a local lake, maintenance of other public areas (painting of fences, repairing benches, etc.). As a lot of work will be done outside, please bring solid shoes.
Study part: Meet the locals, get to know the local culture.

The workcamp is suitable for volunteers who like working manually in the nature but also are creative and enjoy activities with children. Some work tasks will involve minor construction so you can use your skills or learn new ones. Moreover, if you like literature (prose or poetry reading), it is a perfect choice for you!
Leisure time: Visiting a local church and a fortress, hiking trip to close-by volcanoes, a trip to Prague, to the Veltrusy castle or a cycling trip to the town of Melnik. There is a possibility to use the community sports facilities – a hall for basketball, volleyball, tennis and beach volleyball courts.
The project is co-organized by VolTra and The Conservancy Association (CA). CA, founded in 1968, is the non-government environmental organization with the longest history in Hong Kong. This nature conservation management project has been in place since 2005, with the aim to conserve Hong Kong historical site of paddy rice produce – Long Valley. The site composes of 400+ linking farmlands as well as accommodates 200+ bird species, including a range of international conserved species. Through participating in harvesting and ecological monitoring work, we hope to alleviate Long Valley's landscape and biodiversity situation.
Other than a series of active habitat and species management measures, volunteers will also have the precious chance to interact with Hong Kong indigenous villagers, who are descendants of local residents during 1890s. It will be a unique gateway to learn more about the indigenous culture in the concrete jungle.
Local organizer: The Conservancy Association (CA) is dedicated to the protection of the environment and the conservation of natural and cultural heritage. CA's mission is to enhance the quality of life of both this and future generations, and to ensure that Hong Kong shoulders her regional and global environmental responsibilities. We achieve this by advocating appropriate policies, monitoring government action, promoting environmental education and taking a lead in community participation.

WELLS RESERVE and LAUDHOLM ESTUARIAN RESERVE, WELLS, MAINE
The Wells Reserve is a research and education facility situated on 2,250 acres. It is a sanctuary for endangered plants and wildlife. The Reserve consists of forests, coastal marsh, beach and historic farm buildings. The Reserve's full (and rather long) title is "The Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve," and its mission is to protect and restore coastal ecosystems, and educate the public about the beauty and importance of these places. The Wells Reserve is a beautiful and historic property with over 7 miles of trails and a wonderful beach. Our staff conducts research and teaches about estuaries (where rivers meet the sea) and also about other issues that relate to creating and caring for a healthy coastal environment. Website: www.wellsreserve.org
WORK: The Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve is located on the beautiful seacoast of southern Maine. Your work will include improving trails and wildlife habitat at the Reserve as well as grounds and maintenance projects on our historic buildings. This entails getting dirty and working hard. The major project for the camp will be helping prepare for and staff a large weekend Nature Crafts Festival fund-raising event. Work involves set-up and take-down, assisting other volunteers and staff with food, parking, recycling, and many other jobs. For the two days of the festival, you will be working long days.
On the beautiful seacoast of southern Maine, in the New England region of the United States, Wells is 1/2 hour south of Portland, Maine's largest city. The state of Maine, in the far northeast corner of the country, is known for its rugged coastline, beaches, forests, and natural beauty. Originally part of Massachusetts, Maine became a state in 1820. Walker's Point, in nearby Kennebunkport, is the summer home of former U.S. President George H.W. Bush.
TERMINAL: The closest airports are Boston Massachusetts and Portland Maine. Train available to Wells.
Volunteers will stay in a comfortable, modern dormitory with comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, large dining table and common area. Rooms are generous in size and volunteers will most likely share their room with other members of the Volunteers for Peace group. Volunteers will cook meals as a group. Bring some recipes from home to share, and let us know if you have any dietary needs.
[침낭 구비 안내]
개인 위생을 위해 개인용 침낭을 반드시 지참하시기 바랍니다.
No smoking is allowed at any of the work sites or on the property of the Reserve.
LEISURE ACTIVITIES: Wells, Maine is a popular tourist destination in the summer, when the small town's population roughly triples in size. There are public beaches within walking distance and bicycles are available. The Reserve's educational programs are available to volunteers. The Reserve has a private beach and many nature trails. The local Shoreline Trolley runs until early September (usually through the Labor Day holiday) and connects Wells with the nearby towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Ogunquit. There will be many opportunities to enjoy beauty and nature, along with informal discussions about topics of interest to the group. Bring music, games or other activities to share.

We can't believe another year has come and gone! Only 1 month left in 2010 and it seems like the year just started. This year we lost one of our favorite humans, Mrs. Betty. We've always loved Mrs. Betty, she is the human that made our humans love dogs! If it weren't for Mrs. Betty and her Dobermans our Mommy wouldn't have learned how wonderful dogs can be!
It's also been a good year! Our Mommy will graduate from college this month and then she will start grad school next fall so that she can get the degree she needs to become a counselor!
Our yard has changed dramatically as well! Last spring our neighbor started complaining about us and threatening our humans, so they built us fence within our fence! Now we can play on the deck and patio without worrying about our mean neighbor! We also don't bark as much because mommy did some major training and now we know that we shouldn't bark at everything like we used to (though sometimes we still bark, especially at squirrels!)
We caught a squirrel this year!! He was a dumb squirrel, he jumped into the swimming pool skimmer and when we tried to chase him out he jumped into the pool!
This is going to be a good Christmas! We've been super good this year (well, we've been sort of good anyway) and Santa Paws is going to bring us LOTS and LOTS of toys and treats! We want some bully slices and some cookies and some stuffing free toys and some tennis balls and tons of other stuff! We also want new collars!
Our wish this Christmas is that all of the homeless puppies find a home. We also pray that people will learn the love of a dog and find room in their hearts to be kind and loving to animals!
Peace on Earth and Happy Holidays to all of our Pup Pals!
Love, Scout, Precious, Gracie, Hunter, Copper, and Bailey.
When we woke up this morning it was SNOWING!!! Yippee! This is the third year in a row that we have gotten to play in snow! It is really cold, but it is really fun! It's Copper and Bailey's first time, and they are having a blast... though, Mommy is having a hard time keeping them off of the frozen pool cover! It's supposed to get down to 8 degrees here tonight!! So we won't be going out in that unless absolutely necessary! We hope everyone else enjoys the snow if you get any, and stay warm!!
Mommy took lots of new picfurs of us did morning! They won't all fit on our page, so be sure and look at our photobook! We added 40 new picfurs to it, and there are lots of good one!!
Have a great day pals!
Woofs, Wags, and puppy kisses from
Copper &

I have two guns I carry, a Smith & Wesson model 640 and a Glock model 19.
I carry the 640 more often than the Glock.
I am in the market for a new concealed carry handgun. Well at least I will be when my wife gets over my new AR-15! I wanted to possibly try something different with this one and am open to pretty much anything. The list of handguns I currently own:
Springfield XD-40 Tactical - pretty big for CCW, but I love it for open carry. This shoots great!
Kahr PM9 which is my current primary carry piece. Nice and small.
Ruger LCP - hot weather carry and the one my wife likes to use.
An old Ruger P89 - once again big and heavy but VERY reliable
Walther P22 which I don't use for carry but plinking.
What I wanted to find out is, what brands are the most popular for CCW? I would have to admit to leaning toward another XD in subcompact, at least until you change my mind! I don't want to count out all the other good brands out there. I have shot a couple Glocks in 9mm, and shot them well. I just didn't like how they fit my hand, especially compared to the XD. What about Sig? What about S&W? What about Taurus? Heck, what about Glock as well? What do you guys (and gals) carry?
I know I can't post a choice for every make out there so if I missed yours please let me know what it is!
I have two guns I carry, a Smith & Wesson model 640 and a Glock model 19.
I carry the 640 more often than the Glock.
XD9SC is my main CCW gun. I will carry the Kel Tec P3AT when my clothing does not allow the "big" gun.
Believe it or not, the XD-9SC, the Baby Glock (G26), and the S&W M&P compact are all the same size and grip angle (I don't remember about width). I had always avoided Glocks, because I didn't think I liked the grip angle, so I was surprised to discover that the XD and M&P frames are the same size and have the same grip angle (in the subcompacts), and have the same trigger reach as the G-26, although I think the M&P barrel is slightly longer, and it has interchangeable backstraps for adjusting the grip size.
I found this out by tracing photos of each gun in AutoCAD, and scaling the overall length to the manufacturer's specifications. I was then able to overlay them for comparisons. I went to all the trouble because I have a problem finding small guns with a long enough trigger reach for my somewhat large hand.
Of course, after all the research on those three guns, I ended up buying a CZ Rami, because the price was right and it felt good in my hand.
XD45C is my main CCW gun. I will carry the Ruger LCP when my clothing does not allow the "big" gun.
The first time I went in to buy a handgun I was looking for a Glock. I had shot a couple Glock 19s at the range and liked how they shot. They were the first pistol that just seemed to point naturally for me. I went looking to get one, but the guy ended up showing me an XD as well. This was back when XDs had just came out. In the end I ended up buying the XD. I liked the additional grip safety and for me, the grip was just more comfortable on the XD. It wasn't the angle, but more the shape of it I guess - the XD seemed rounder in the back of the grip and fit my hand better. I would have to say it has been years since I've held a Glock now. I know they are supposed to be great for reliability but I have no complaints about the XD either and I shoot it just as good.
Still, for what I am looking for, one of the baby Glocks might be the perfect choice.
I was also looking at Glocks before I bought my XD45 Service. At the time, the Glock didn't feel right to me. But I shot a Glock 34 last week, and it was great, so I guess the grip angle thing was not as big a factor as I thought.
My XD 45 is big and blocky compared to most of the other guns I like, but after a couple thousand rounds, it has a great trigger, and has accuracy capabilities beyond my ability. It is still the gun I want to have with me if I ever get into the kind of trouble that requires a gun to get out of.
For over a year roughly I carried my Para 1911 but I recently picked up a Sig P6 and that's what I've been carry for a semester now.
Here in Florida, cover garments are few and far between. I carry a Smith all steel snubbie as it is one of the easiest weapons for me to carry, while still being powerful and reliable enough. (It was 80 degrees today BTW)
On those few days when I can wear a cover garment, I will sometimes carry a Smith Model 64 with a 3" barrel or a Glock 23 in a Galco summer special.
I carried , for years and years ago, a Colt series 80 officers model or a s&w model 36 snubbie. both worked well, albiet a bit easier to conceal the snubby.
Now I have carried, both them, my FEG pa-63, and a keltec p-11. I seem to be carrying the p-11 full time now (at least when I am still in states in which i can carry). I loved the FEG, and accuracy was great (1.5" at 21 yds), but like the double stack, more powerful round in a similar size package of the Kel-tec.
My american express is a Kahr CW45. and a Keltec p3at is my BUG. I also sometimes carry either my Taurus model 605 in .357 or My Glock 21sf
To me the CW45 is THE ULTIMATE CARRY GUN!
I carry a CZ 2075 poly 9mm its about the same size as a 26 but not quite as thick.
My Carry Pistols:
AMT .45 Backup
Colt 1911A1, Series 70 (much modified)
Essex-frame 1911A1 (much modified)
Essex-frame, Officers'-size shortie 1911 (much modified)
Star PD
Semmerling LM-4
Of these, the AMT .45 Backup and the Essex-frame shortie 1911 get the most use (about equal), followed by the Semmerling LM-4.
I too carry a kahr PM9 in hot weather.
It works so well I bought a KP45 which is also easy to carry and only slightly bigger. Small of the back works just fine.
I'm moving to alaska purely so I don't have to worry about ease of concealability
SiG, it's what fits and feels best to me and what I own. I go with what works for me.
Interesting looking at the poll numbers there. I knew Glock would probably end up in the top spot and so far it is. I thought the XD would be better represented than it is, and honestly I am a little suprised that even Kahr shows better than the XD.
I am going to have to see if I can get my hands on the XD subcompact, a baby Glock, and a small Sig (not familiar with the models but a similar sized one) at the same time to compare. Unfortunately, there are no places near here where I can rent a gun for a test drive. I have to buy and just hope it works out, which is part of the reason for me doing a little bit of homework on here.

Feyernoord's Italian striker Graziano Pelle has spoken of his desire to win a place in Italy's World Cup squad in 2014.
Pelle also commented on the possibility of a return to Italy whilst stressing about how much he is enjoying his time in Holland.
Pelle scored 27 goals from 29 appearances in the Eredivisie in his first season at De Kuip, a goal scoring record that convinced the Rotterdam side to make his loan deal from Parma permanent.
In an interview with La Gazzetta Dello Sport, he spoke of his ambition to make the Azzurri side for the World Cup although he acknowledged the difficulties in his way.
"There is lots of competition," said Pelle.
"I'm thinking of Antonio Di Natale, he's not called up even if he scores lots of goals every year.
"I must admit however that I really hope to go to Brazil next year."
The 27-year-old also talked of a possible return to his homeland although at present his position appears to be firmly with Feyenoord.
"The Feyenoord directors have told me that it won't be easy for them to sell me.
"At the last match I was substituted and the stadium thanked me with a standing ovation and now the fans won't react well to me being sold."
