Hope the S&W M&P 15 serves you well.

I'm doing my part to stimulate the economy and buy American. A couple of consignment items sold from when I was out of work not too long ago.
I brought home a S&W M&P 15 A this afternoon.
Funny thing is I went shopping with the intent of buying a Colt. After looking at the options I changed my mind. The SIG 556 is a nice rifle, but too expensive for me, and I really wanted a true AR. The new Ruger is nice as well, but, I don't care for the pictany front hand guards at all. So I looked at DMPS, Bushmaster, and serveral colts.
I thought too that I would get an AR in the rifle format, the the carbine just called my name. When I compared the Colt to the M&P, the M&P seemed like a much better value to me. It cost less than the Colt, and the current rebate for 5 free mags is pretty sweat. Also, the M&P has a 5.56 chamber, if that really matters. The receiver is completly devoid of caliber markings - not sure how that made it out of the factory. In very tiny etching on the upper barrel is 5.56 Nato.
The only thing I would have preferred is a fixed rear stock, rather than the adjustable one. I'm just old school in that regard I suppose.
Still trying to figure out how the heck do you adjust the front sight?
I also brought home a Marlin 22lr bolt action. A very nice gun.
I plan to get a lot of use out of this next fall.
I plan to go to the range tomorrow and try them both out. I can hardly contain my excitement!

Great job stimulating the economy. Keep up the good work!

They make a front sight tool you can use to adjust the post up or down or in the Military we used a bullet tip or other pointy object,if you look at the sight you will notice it has detents around the base,there is a pin you push down while turning the sight,screwing it to the right or down raises POI,left lowers POI

Went to the range today and ran 100 rounds thru the M&P15. I posted targets at 25, 50, and 75 yards. My eyes had a little trouble with the sights - its an age thing. Still, I managed to eventually get shots on target. Still need to fiddle with the sight setup. I also want to replace the collapsable stock with a fixed stock. I'm looking at options for that now.

"I had ordered the 'Spa day for him' gift basket to be delivered to my fiance on his birthday in Germany. I wanted it to be a surprise for him. It was delivered on time and he was totally taken by surprise! :) Everything from placing me the order to him receiving it on time was hassle free! Thank you giftbasketsoverseas.com! Will surely recommened this! :)"
Shreya - India - Oct 2, 2015
"My parents live in Israel. My dad did not feel well recently so I decided to send him a gift basket. It was a bit tricky finding a company that delivers to Israel, as I did not want to send just flowers and chocolates. I recently had a bad experience on Valentine's day with another service my boyfriend used, so I took care to do ample research on the net. I found giftbasketoverseas.com and chose the luxury wine and cheese basket. They were so professional and called me within a few hours to verify that I indeed put in the order. My parents got the basket right on time, and were basically knocked off their feet by it's beauty and luxury. So worth it! I will always use this company for future orders. It's so important when it's a gift for you loved ones! Highly recommend this experience for anyone who want to send a gift basket. The variety is also amazing with regards to options on their website. "

Program Details
The modern era of biochemistry has been transformed by the recent development of instruments which can generate vast amounts of information about entire genomes or thousands of proteins or metabolites. One of our biggest challenges in biochemistry is the development of tools to analyze and manage this flood of data.
The Computational Biochemistry program was developed to provide both training in computer science and a solid foundation in biochemistry. Students are exposed to the core areas of biology and chemistry, including genetics, cell biology, organic chemistry and analytical chemistry, as well as general and experimental biochemistry, bioinformatics and molecular modelling. Optional courses allow you to focus on areas such as molecular genetics, pharmaceutical drug design, functional genomics and protein structure and function.
Computational Biochemistry is offered as an Honours program. A co-op option is also available.

Sleep Support is made from a unique combination of natural ingredients that provide support for a good night's sleep without unpleasant side effects. The synergistic blend of highest quality European Standardized Herbs helps the body fall asleep, stay asleep and awake refreshed.
There are many causes of sleep disorders and many factors that contribute to their severity. The high incidence of stress and the impact of the stress of everyday life on sleep quality and quantity is well documented. A major concern is the ability to avoid the feelings of sedation, drowsiness and "morning after" fatigue that often accompany taking many over-the counter sleep aids.
Sleep Support is made from a unique combination of natural ingredients that provide support for a good night's sleep without unpleasant side effects. The synergistic blend of highest quality European Standardized Herbs helps the body fall asleep, stay asleep and awake refreshed.
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, nearly 70 million Americans suffer from some type of sleep disorder. The most common is insomnia.
Insomnia is defined as difficulty in sleeping, the inability to fall asleep or to remain asleep long enough to feel rested, especially when this is a problem that continues over time. Sleep disorders are related to many serious health conditions. These conditions include hypertension, diabetes, stroke and cardiac related death. Obesity and depression are also closely associated with sleep disorders.
People in pain often have a harder time sleeping. The lack of sleep contributes to the pain and pain contributes to the lack of sleep. Sleep Support can help stop this downward spiral and help get the body to regain balance to better manage pain.
"Sleep is something that most of us take for granted, but sleep disorders are more common and more hazardous than many people realize," said Dr. Iwona Rawinis, Medical Director of The Center for Sleep Medicine at New Island Hospital.
There are several common symptoms of sleep disorders. These symptoms include trouble falling or staying asleep, snoring, irregular breathing during sleep and feeling unrefreshed or lethargic during waking hours.
There are many causes of sleep disorders and many factors that contribute to their severity. The high occurrence of stress and the impact of the stress of everyday life on sleep quality and quantity are well documented.
Many individuals are looking for an all-natural, safe and effective way to help them get the sleep they need. A major concern is that these individuals also want to avoid the feelings of sedation, drowsiness and "morning after" fatigue that often accompany the taking of many over-the counter sleep aids and prescription medications.
Because of this BLUESPRING is now offering an all natural remedy called BLUESPRING Sleep Support. It is a unique formula containing natural ingredients that help provide healthy support for a restful good night's sleep – WITHOUT unpleasant side effects including the next day hangover feeling. All it takes is one capsule per night.
Researchers say Suntheanine may improve sleep quality and works even if your child is taking stimulant (ADHD) medication. A newly published University of British Columbia study has found that giving supplements containing Suntheanine L-theanine may help improve a child's sleep quality without significant side effects. It was noted that the benefits were consistent among children regardless of whether they were also taking stimulant medication.
"These improvements were compelling and significant," commented lead researcher Michael R. Lyon, M.D., who points out that additional research is needed. "While L-theanine has been studied for its effects on stress, mood and cognition in non- ADHD subjects, this is the first report of its effects in children with ADHD. Given the importance of sleep in assisting children with attention, memory, emotion and behavior in the daytime, it warrants investigation to determine whether L-theanine's effects on sleep are long-term and whether they translate into measurable positive changes in ADHD symptoms."
Melatonin, a hormone made by the pineal gland in the brain, helps control sleep and wake cycles. Very small amounts of it are found in foods such as meats, grains, fruits, and vegetables. It can also be bought as a supplement.
The body has its own internal clock that controls the natural cycle of sleeping and waking hours. Normally, melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening, remain high for most of the night, and then drop in the early morning hours.
Natural melatonin levels slowly drop with age. Some older adults make very small amounts of it or none at all. Adding Melatonin in supplement form may help the body feel drowsy and aid in falling asleep.
The body needs Magnesium for many reasons including healthy bones and teeth. Low levels of magnesium can lead to insomnia and other sleep disorders. Adding magnesium to your daily supplement routine can bring those levels up and aid in getting a good night's sleep.
Vitamin B-6
Often called the natural sleeping pill, vitamin B-6 was discovered in the early 1930's by researchers who were conducting nutritional studies on laboratory mice. Instead, they found a substance that cured skin disease in the laboratory mice. They named this substance vitamin B-6. Chemically known as pyridoxine HCl, vitamin B-6 plays a vital role in both the quantity and quality of sleep experienced throughout the night. Those with a B-6 deficiency may experience insomnia as well as poor sleep quality; vitamin B-6 is vital to the production of serotonin, the element responsible for calming the mind in preparation for sleep.
A magnesium deficiency has been repeatedly linked to chronic insomnia and poor sleep quality. Magnesium is integral to the proper function of the motor nerves in the body. Motor nerves transport electrical signals from the brain to the muscles so that the limbs know what they are supposed to do. A low level of magnesium, which is common in the United States due to poor dietary habits, interrupts this process and causes agitation, which is counterproductive to sleep. Particularly when used in combination with calcium, magnesium has been shown efficacious in reducing insomnia and increasing sleep quality.
Because it is a naturally occurring substance in the body, melatonin has the least side effects of any sleep aid. Melatonin production is dormant during daylight hours; melatonin production starts when darkness falls, and melatonin production peaks around 2 a.m. Thereafter, melatonin production gradually decreases until the next evening. Some medications, such as Inderal, which is taken for high blood pressure, can inhibit production of melatonin. Some studies have shown melatonin to be effective in restoring the sleep patterns and sleep quality of individuals who are 50 years old and older.
An amino acid found in green tea leaves, L-Theanine has been shown to smooth out brain waves, resulting in a calm, sleep-inducing attitude. It has been shown to be efficacious in increasing the quality of sleep for men and women of all ages as well as reducing blood pressure and cortisol levels. It has been proven by the National Institute of Health to reduce ADHD in young boys. In addition, L-Theanine is an antioxidant and antidepressant. Taken in moderate doses, L-Theanine has no side effects and can significantly improve sleep quality.
Passionflower Aerial Extract
Formerly approved by the FDA for use as an over-the-counter sleep remedy, passionflower aerial extract was removed from the market in 1978 because its safety and efficacy had not yet been proven in clinical trials. However, passionflower remains available as a holistic sleep aid in three forms: tea, tablet or tincture. Historically, this flower has been used since 1569 for the treatment of sleep disorders as well as anxiety, stress and ADHD. Passionflower has few side effects, works well in combination with other substances and is generally considered safe and effective when taken in traditional doses; passionflower can increase both quality and quantity of sleep.
Valerian Root Extract
Popular since the 2nd century, valerian root has been used to treat insomnia, anxiety and a myriad of other ailments. Many users reported an increase in both the quality and the quantity of sleep. A popular misconception is that the prescription drug Valium is obtained from the valerian root. Valium is a synthetic drug and a controlled substance. Valerian is a holistic remedy and legally available for over-the-counter use. Although they react in similar ways on the brain, they are not the same substance. Valerian is available in tincture, tea, tablet or capsule and is considered safe for adults but should not be given to children.

Razor Blades Found in Mission Bay Park
photo from media partner 10News
San Diego police are investigating the discovery of about 20 razor blades placed on the grass at a park in Mission Bay.
At about 6:15 p.m., police said a family reported finding razor blades stuck in the ground at Bonita Cove Park.
Police said the single-edged blades were placed in the grass around a popular playground with the sharp side sticking out of the ground. No injuries were reported.
Police canvassed the area Thursday night with a metal detector and collected the blades.
"Just these random acts of violence like this, just very scary as a parent," said Steve McMillan, a Rancho San Diego resident.
One witness told 10News he was informed by police that this was a "recurring problem."
10News learned that this is the second time in less than a month that the park was booby-trapped with razors. Last month, 10 blades were found in the same area and a 41-year-old woman was injured. The park was cordoned off as authorities searched the area.
"It's a terrible crime that someone would want to inflict injury on someone like that," said San Diego Police Lt. Paul Rorrison.
Police said the razor blades were taken from the scene will be tested for fingerprints and sent to a crime lab to see if DNA can be extracted. Officers said they are also trying to determine if the blades from both incidents matched and could be linked together.
"That's just terrible," said McMillan. "It's terrible that it happens anywhere, terrible that it happens in San Diego. I see the San Diego Police are on it. I know they'll do a good job."
Police said in both incidents, the reporting party wanted to remain anonymous. Police were not sure if that person could be involved. It is something police said they are also looking into.

In the year or so since Amazon launched its Prime Instant Video service, the company has been hard at work forging deals with different content providers in an effort to build out its library. I've covered these deals from time to time, most recently when Amazon added content from Discovery Networks. At the end of that piece I noted that Amazon's next goal had to be getting the service on to more devices.
As of yesterday they've taken a first step towards that goal, when Amazon Prime Instant Video and Amazon Video on Demand (the stuff you pay for) arrived on Sony's Playstation 3. I'm never one to shirk my 'laying on the couch watching TV' responsibilities, so I went hands-on with the new service.
In order to get started, you'll have to download a small app on the PS3. You'll find that option under the TV/Video Services column of the cross-media bar. Once the app is installed you'll get a code on the TV that you have to enter at http://amazon.com/mytv. Pretty much business as usual for streaming services on set-top boxes.
The main menu of the Amazon app looks a bit, well, Metro. You've got a menu bar across the top that lets you move from Prime Instant Videos to Movies and TV Shows (the latter two including both free Prime and paid content), but the bulk of the screen is taken up by a grid of square thumbnails with captions like "Your Video Library" (stuff you've purchased from Amazon Video-on-Demand), "Recently Watched", "Best of Prime" and "Next Episodes." This last option is nice: Amazon keeps track of where you've left off and makes it easy to grab, well, the next episodes.
Drill into Amazon Instant Prime and you get a different set of tiles, such as "Recently added," "TV:Editor's Choice" and "Movie Genres." The only somewhat unique options are a tile dedicated to breaking out TV shows by channel and a "For the Kids" tile.
These tiles vary a bit depending on whether you're looking at Prime (free) or paid choices, but you get the idea. I'd call the interface adequate. It's not terrible but after being spoiled by that new Hulu Plus interface on Android tablets, I find the Amazon UI to not be quite as good at exposing lots of content.
Of course, the point of all this is watching content. The good news is that the quality of stream was excellent as long as you just let it play. The bad news is that moving through a show is mighty clunky. You can bring up a progress bar and use Rewind and Fast Forward to move the current location pointer, but doing so doesn't interrupt playback; it'll just keep playing at normal speed. Once you get the pointer to where you want it (and at best you can guestimate that location) you have to hit the play/pause button (X on the controller) to actually change the picture. It's kind of bizarre how this works, or doesn't work, depending on your outlook.
I'm hoping we see a patch soon that supports, at a minimum, some kind of keyframe system to help you navigate. It's worth noting the the Amazon app on the Roku doesn't work this way (it uses a keyframe system). I know that fast forward and rewind in a streaming service can be tricky but both Netflix and Hulu Plus have it working right on the PS3 (and Amazon got it right on the Roku); let's hope we don't have too long a wait for a fix.
Those issues aside, it's nice to see Sony adding a new streaming option to the Playstation 3. It used to be that, in the endless battle between PS3 and Xbox 360, the PS3 was the clear victor in streaming media, but Microsoft has totally turned those tables. Of course the interface for the Amazon app really looks like it belongs on the Xbox 360, and Sony hasn't used the word 'exclusive' in any of their marketing efforts surrounding Amazon streaming. I wouldn't be surprised to see Amazon hit the Xbox 360 in the next few months; there's no upside to them limiting themselves to just one console.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my Arrested Development marathon. A blogger's work is never done!

Technical Abstract: The decrease in photosynthetic activity in warm-climate plants during exposure to low temperature at high light is a well-documented phenomenon. As measured by changes in chlorophyll fluorescence, this decrease in the chill sensitive species tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, recovers once the plant is returned to growth conditions. We have observed that concomitant with the inhibition of photosynthesis, there is a decrease in the de novo synthesis of the D1 protein as compared to control plants. The translation of this chloroplast encoded protein is quite likely regulated by the chloroplast redox state. To study the possible interactions between low temperature exposure and chloroplast stroma redox state with respect to D1 synthesis, tomato plants were labeled with [S**35]-methionine and compared over a variety of conditions (high light and low temperature; high light alone; low temperature alone) and levels of newly synthesized thylakoid proteins were monitored. It was shown that there is a decrease in the rate of de novo protein synthesis of D1 in plants exposed to high light and low temperature compared to control plants. Photooxidative methyl viologen treatment of leaves at growth temperature mimicked the effects of the low temperature exposure on the de novo synthesis of D1, further implicating ht possibility of redox control. Northern blot analysis has shown that there is no change in the steady state mRNA levels of psbA, indicating translational control.
