We writers often have trouble coming up with names for our characters. We would probably hesitate to use someone we know well, for fear they would think we're writing about them. So, sometimes I reach for the phone book or I see a name in a newspaper or magazine article I like.
I recently came across a blog called Nameisms with a post about "Western names for Cowboys and Cowgirls." It's interesting to see how many are named after popular country singers. I remember a boy named Cotton in our county when I was growing up. Levi was a popular name. And I've seen quite a few kids named after western towns–Austin, Dallas, Cody, and even some named after mountain ranges–Sierra, Rincon.
This blog also has articles on Pioneer baby names from the 1880s, Vintage baby names from the 1920s, Holiday baby names, fashion designer names, Olympic swimmers, musical names, names from Gimore Girls.
Names are fascinating. Studies say many of us develop personalities or lifestyle relating to our name.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Dow component Citigroup, brokerage giant Merrill Lynch and Bank of America headline a sizeable contingent of financial stocks due to report their quarterly earnings next week.
In the past few quarters, many big Wall Street banks have blown past their earnings estimates by significant margins amid a bull run.
But in the second quarter, the stock market recovery stumbled amidst steady geopolitical strife in Iraq, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Volume levels also dropped in equities markets, as noted in Knight Trading's NITE, +0.00% earnings warning on Wednesday. See full story.
So while banks will likely beat expectations, blowout quarters will likely be less common this time around.
For example, Morgan Stanley MWD, +0.37% on June 22 reported second-quarter earnings of $1.22 billion, or $1.10 per share verses the Wall Street estimate of $1.06. The results were stronger-than-expected, but not out of the ball park.
Citigroup C, +2.97%, a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.21%, is expected to post quarterly earnings of 97 cents per share on Thursday, according to Thomson First Call.
Merrill Lynch MER, -1.02% carries a target of $1.09 per share for its quarterly earnings due on Tuesday.
Bank of America BAC, +2.21% is expected to earn $1.74 per share. In a note Thursday, JP Morgan analyst Vivek Juneja lauded the banks "more diversified mix verses it large cap bank peers." The company's earnings are due on Wednesday.
Other S&P500 components from the financial sector due to report next week include:
- Fifth Third Bancorp FITB, +2.52% is on deck to report earnings of 79 cents per share on Thursday.
- M&T Bank MTB, +1.19% is expected to earn $1.45 per share when it issues its quarterly earnings on Monday.
- SunTrust Banks STI, +1.41% on Monday is on deck to report earnings of $1.26 per share.
- State Street STT, +3.25% on Tuesday is expected to earn 68 cents per share.
- AmSouth ASO, +1.26% on Tuesday is expected to earn 46 cents per share in quarterly earnings.
- BB&T BBT, +1.48% is expected to earn 68 cents per share when it reports its quarterly results on Tuesday.

In the past month, there have been several developments relating to Florida's response to the EPA's proposed Numeric Nutrient Standards, which have been the focus of much debate and discussion since they were proposed. The federal standards were widely criticized by agricultural and other business interests as overly-broad, not adequately supported by science and as needlessly expensive to implement. Implementation cost estimates (outside the EPA, which provided the lowest estimate) ranged from $1 billion to $8.4 billion annually. Much of that cost was directly related to agriculture, but much was projected to be paid directly by water utility customers.
On December 7, the Florida Environmental Regulatory Commission ("ERC") approved rules for the Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") which include some numeric standards in addition to the existing narrative standards. Florida's rules apply numeric standards more narrowly, and exclude South Florida canals from their implementation; a major point of contention over the EPA rules. The EPA has indicated a willingness to allow the Florida rules to substitute for its own rules.
The DEP rules still must be approved by the Florida Legislature, and were challenged a few days before the ERC meeting in an administrative complaint filed by a group of environmental organizations led by Earthjustice. But new DEP rules, in some form, will almost certainly be finalized in 2012. EPA has extended the effective date of its Numeric Nutrient Standards until only March 2012, although it indicated a willingness to further extend that date if DEP's rule was adopted by DEP but not yet fully authorized and implemented.
The new rules will likely affect agricultural, development and utility interests in ways that cannot yet be predicted with any certainty. Dean Mead's Agribusiness Industry Team will continue to monitor developments relating to these standards, and will issue updates when appropriate. If you would like to be added to the Agribusiness Industry Team email list for to receive client e-Alerts, please send a request to email@example.com.

2019 Scottish Caravan Club National Rally – Lanark
The 2019 National Rally was hosted at Lanark Race Course, Lanark by West Centre from 3rd - 7th May 2019 - to view all photos click anywhere on this link
Chairman's Message
Dear Members,
I would sincerely like to thank you all for allowing me to serve as the Chairman of The Scottish Division of the Caravan and Motorhome Club for a second year.
I will ensure that I maintain the high standards that have been set by Scottish Division and actively promote Scottish Centres and the Scottish Caravan Club wherever our travels take us.
The highlight of the Scottish Caravan Club calendar for 2019 is the 69thScottish National Rally, which will be hosted by the West of Scotland Centre at Lanark Racecourse, Lanark from 3rd- 7thMay 2019. A full programme of activities and events have been planned for your enjoyment throughout the weekend. The town of Lanark is only a short distance from the Race Course and has plenty to offer with numerous visitor attractions in the town itself and the surrounding area. Please support the West Centre Committee and their volunteers at this event. Your attendance and early booking would be greatly appreciated. A Pre-National Rally is being held by Dumfries and Galloway Centre at Gretna and a National Follow-on Rally is being held by South West Centre at Gartcosh. This is a perfect opportunity for you to extend the Scottish National into a holiday.
A little later in May, the Caravan and Motorhome Club National will take place from 24th– 28thMay 2019 at Ragley Hall, Park and Gardens in Alcester, Warwickshire.
I would like to thank the Scottish Division Editor, Centre Committees and Rally Secretaries for the compilation of the 2019 Handbook, along with the Rally Marshals who give up their valuable time to run the events that allow us to enjoy our much loved pastime.
Whichever events you decide to attend during the year, you can look forward to a warm welcome wherever you are.
Louise and I look forward to meeting you soon.
Best wishes to you all for 2019.

Here we are in the car parks adjoining the Whitecraigs Rugby Club on the outskirts of Glasgow. There was plenty of help from the rally team on arrival to get set up, on hard standing.
On reading the programme the day-time hours were free every day for everyone to go out and explore their extremely interesting surroundings.
The rally was opened on the Wednesday evening by Mr. George Lallaway in his usual friendly manner. Home made dumpling and shortbread, with tea/coffee were served by the team. Claire Davidson gave a short talk on things to see and do in Glasgow. My roots are in Argyllshire and I spent many summer holidays in Glasgow, would you believe, but have never come across anyone with as much information on the history of the city as Claire had in her head. She was obviously very passionate about her home city and was very eager to pass this on to us. The visitors were extremely interested and used the info to plan their visits out the next day (even members who live in Glasgow found out things they did not know about their own city) …. WELL DONE CLAIRE …. and many thanks.
Alex/Gina and Ian/Margaret Graham offered a car drop-off and uplift service to the bus stop or local train station and this was in use often.
Although the weather was very mixed we were outside every evening at 8.00 pm. Food/snacks were handed out every evening with tea and coffee while Claire imparted the
local info.
Square sausage and rolls. Hot scotch pies, pancakes with cream and various toppings and many other items were served up.
On Friday evening we had the use of the sports hall in the Clubhouse (which had been open for drinks every evening and members were made most welcome) The night "A Taste of Burns" was very informal. Fraser Todd, SCC Chairman welcomed all to the evening, followed by one of Claire's short talks. The Haggis was piped in by Abi Reid a young Fife and Tayside member who was followed by the henchman suitably attired (Grenville Chamberlain) who expertly paraded the haggis round the hall and presented it to George Lallaway who addressed the haggis after which we were served, by Division, with oatcakes and haggis, followed by a rusty nail and cakes, etc. We started at 8 o'clock and finished after 10 o'clock and the conversation never ceased all night – it was fantastic to see everyone moving around and talking to one and all and not sitting in their "wee groups". It was also good to see Grenville there as an ordinary rallier representing the Mid Anglia Centre and hope he is allowed to enjoy more rallies like this as he has now retired from paid work. In a vote of thanks he mentioned that this rally had been a bee under Alex's bonnet for many years and now that it had escaped he could well be looking for another event - we'll just have to wait and see.
With time to sit in the van during a wet afternoon I thought, where were all the scottish centre members, we were very thin on the ground only 12 outfits. Granted SCC had 7 outfits there. The visitors were from far and near, Ulster 1, Northumberland 1, Durham 2, East Yorkshire 1, Gloucester 1, Norfolk 2, Mid Anglia 1 and unattached 5. Four (4) of the visitors were new ralliers attending their first rally - 33 vans in total not counting the numbers that had to cancel.
This was an excellent rally whatever you were looking for and I felt it deserved more support from Scottish Centre members. After the success of Cultybraggan also organised by SCC maybe it is time for them to consider organising more rallies, national, etc. as centres are struggling to form committees. Could we talk about merging Centres or could less rallies, but for bigger events, pull out more members, it's just a thought?????? from a well seasoned Rallier

Scottish Caravan Club AGM Rally - Photos
The Scottish Caravan Club held their AGM in the Dewar's, Business, Events and Sports Centre, Perth on Saturday the 14th October 2017.
There was a good attendance of 138 members from across the seven Scottish Centres.
The Scottish Division platform party, consisted of Hamish Stuart SCC President, Graeme McKenzie Treasurer, Kenny Robertson Secretary, David Smith SCC Chairman, they were joined by Grenville Chamberlain CAMC Chairman and Nick Lomas Director General of CAMC.
This year SCC had a change of Chairman as David Smith had completed his two years. Stepping into the chair was Fraser Todd, with Ronnie Duff being elected as Vice Chairman, all other posts on Division were filled.
During the meeting, the Alba Shield photographic competition was judged and the winner was Margaret Rigby from the Dumfries and Galloway Centre
As the meeting came to AOCB, the CAMC guests had to respond to questions regarding Scottish sites and extended high season times. These questions were answered, or referred to East Grinstead for clarification.
The newly elected SCC Chairman Fraser Todd, thanked everyone for attending and wished them all a very good caravanning year for 2018.

Governments looking to boost growth should focus on further narrowing the "gender gap" that continues to hold women back in education, employment and entrepreneurship, a new report said Monday. Women continue to earn less than men, are less likely to make it to the top of the career ladder and are more likely to spend their final years in poverty, according to "Closing the Gender Gap," released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Trimming or eliminating this discrimination could provide a significant source of growth for ailing economies, the OECD says: on average, a 50 percent decrease in the gender gap in labor force participation would lead to a 0.3 percentage point increase in annual GDP per-capita growth rate in OECD countries.
"Investment in gender equality yields the highest returns of all development investments," the OECD said. "Gender inequality means not only forgoing the important contributions that women make to the economy, but also wasting years of investment in educating girls and young women," the OECD said.
A key part of the solution is promoting access to affordable childcare, the OECD says. "If childcare eats up one wage so that there is little or no financial gain in going out to work, parents (most often mothers) are less likely to seek a job," the report says.
In the United States, public investment in childcare in 2009 was around 0.4 percent of GDP, compared with 0.7 percent across the OECD as a whole. While women have largely caught up or surpassed men in education, girls remain less likely to choose scientific and technological fields of study, the OECD said, pointing to a need to change gender stereotypes and attitudes early on.
In the workplace, a "glass ceiling" still inhibits women's earnings and professional advancement, the OECD said. Women earn on average 16 percent less than men in OECD countries, and the disparity widens the higher up the corporate ladder women climb: Among female top-earners, women are paid 21 percent less than male counterparts, the OECD found.

Progression Toward Walking
When they get to be about six months old, babies start sitting upright without assistance. This process requires the development of core muscles and requires babies to learn how to balance. Once they learn how to support their own weight in a seated position, babies progress to standing. This process can take some time as babies must increase their strength and development before they can pull themselves to an upright position. Babies can stand at an average age of 10 months but it takes some a bit longer. Once babies can stand upright, they start moving. The phase between standing and walking is called cruising, and it can show parents that their child is preparing to take his or her first independent steps.
Cruising is a prelude to walking with a bit of support added to the mix. In preparation for walking on their own, babies will lean against furniture or other solid objects for support. They might even let go for a few seconds as they learn to keep their balance while standing. If there are adequate objects to hold on to, babies can move around the perimeter of an entire room by cruising. Eventually, they will fall, but babies learn to get back up again and keep making progress.
Once parents see that their child has mastered the basic mechanics of moving around, they can offer some support to make the transition to walking. They can do so by getting a weighted push-toy for the child, which makes it easier and more fun to cover longer distances. Parents should also take the time to safety-proof the surrounding by removing hazardous objects from the child's reach. They should also make sure that the child never uses a wheeled walker to practice walking as it can cause injuries. Walkers can impede a child's progress in learning to walk independently, and they can also be a significant safety hazard, notes WebMD.
The First Steps
While children practice for some time before learning to walk independently, parents will know that their child is ready for walking when he or she can lift one leg independently while continuing to balance on the other. The transition will probably not be graceful, and parents should not be surprised when their children take tentative, stiff-legged steps with outstretched arms and a wide stance. However, children who learn to walk progress quickly. Parents can support their child's newfound skill by holding his or her hand and accompanying the child on daily walks. After learning to walk on flat ground, parents can teach their children to master the art of climbing and descending stairs and uneven terrain.

Ahh my faithful readers. I know you will help out a poor blonde in distress.
Ok, so maybe I'm not in distress per say, but I do have a quick question.
What the fuck is trackback? I installed this whole HaloScan thing and am still mourning all my old comments that went bye-bye. It has this trackback thingy though, and I haven't really had time to figure out what all goes with this HaloScan stuff.
Thank you in advance for your kind words of wisdom.

Doreen Lawrence writes movingly about the the indifference of the authorities to the residents who lived in Grenfell Tower and to those who live in social housing, drawing 'striking parallels' with the handling of the investigation into the murder of her son Stephen.
'Very few people in positions of power understand what this experience is like. I doubt they have ever had to live in poor housing or know what it is like to feel invisible, like no one cares.' She writes in the Observer, pointing to the structural failures which mean that those who live in social housing have been denied the right to a safe home.
She writes further about the 'undeniable part' race and class play in the response of authorities and in whose voices get heard. The Tower residents were largely immigrants or refuges, whom people in power felt they could ignore - it has taken the fuel of anger and pain to bring their voices to prominence and force an enquiry.
Baroness Lawrence is no putting her energies into improving the situation and now part of housing charity Shelter's Big Conversation on social housing.

Are you thinking about planting some edibles in your garden or yard? There is nothing more fun or rewarding than picking a handful of fresh raspberries or an apple right off the tree. But planting home-grown edibles takes some planning, effort, and patience. Here are some tips:
1. Start small – too often people get the planting bug and go overboard planting a large garden and/or too many fruit trees, berries, or other edibles. By summer the weeds have taken over and harvest time becomes over-whelming. Begin with a small garden and/or a tree or 2 and add more each year if you choose.
2. Make sure all the plants you select are hardy for your zone. In North Iowa, we are in zone 4. Select plants from zone 2-4.
3. Research planting and care of the plants you choose. Have a plan and think about making a garden calendar as a reminder of what needs to be done when.
4. Call us at Natural Plus if you have questions. Two other excellent references for home gardening are the ISU Extension service www.extension.iastate.edu. and Purdue Extension service www.extension.purdue.edu.
5. Enjoy! For most of us, gardening is a hobby. Enjoy the benefits – the beauty and joy of nature, and savoring in the delicious taste of fresh fruits and vegetables you have grown yourself.
Focus on Plants: Planting Edibles
Edibles you can grow yourself include everything from fruit trees and small fruits to potatoes, vegetables, herbs, etc. At Natural Plus we carry a good selection of fruit trees, asparagus, raspberries, strawberries, and some herbs. Spring planting is good for edibles.
Here are some common tips for planting and what we have in stock this season.
Apples – We carry a nice selection of hardy semi-dwarf apples. (Apples can come in dwarf, semi-dwarf, and standard sizes.) We prefer semi-dwarf trees as trees are sturdier than dwarf sizes, and apples are easier to pick than on bigger standard varieties. For pollination, you will need to plant 2 apple trees that bloom at about the same time.
Pears- Pears grow quite well in North Iowa if you select the right varieties. This year we will be carrying Patten Pear good for eating, pies, and baking. You need 2 pears for pollination. Patten is a good pollinator for other varieties.
Plums- We carry Mount Royal. The tree is small- 8-12' and plums are good for eating and desserts. You need only plant 1 plum. Mount Royal does not need another pollinator.
Cherries- We are carrying Evans Bali, Meteor, and North Star. All of these varieties are tart and are good for pies, canning, and baking. (Most sweet cherries are not hardy in North Iowa). They do not require another pollinator.
Peaches – We carry Contender which is now recommended for zone 4. Though recommended as hardy, they will still require extra attention and protection. They do not need another pollinator.
Raspberries – We carry sturdy 1 year,# 1 bare root plants. Varieties include Bristol Black (which has large black fruit late July), Heritage (which has 2 crops of red fruit in July and September), and Lathum (which has red fruit late June into early July).
Strawberries – We carry 1 year, #1 bare root plants. Varieties include All Star and Sparkle – both are June bearing and good for eating, freezing, and preserves.
Asparagus- We carry 2 year, #1 bare root plants including Jersey Knight, Mary Washington, Purple Passion, and Sweet Purple.
There is nothing better than enjoying the "fruits" of your labor.

Seems rather odd then @magsiebee as it's adobe based perhaps there's an issue with your device. You wouldn't need Photoshop.
Try it from my link here https://xd.adobe.com/view/b1f625b0-5514-41c3-a30b-9f3a2c7c3e48/screen/5700ae4d-b48b-4464-a0c7-a517bd7de515/G-R-EDIT-4/

Try it without the gg App. I'm on google chrome on an iPad no gg App. I'm reckoning it might be the gg App. Let us know. @magsiebee
Glad to help, I'm glad your sorted I guessed the gg App may have been the problem @magsiebee and now if any other members face the same issue they can now see by the responses of these messages what the problem is 😉
I would have thought giffgaff would have made this App friendly. I always login on the main gg page.
Loojking forward to seeing how people make use of this.

(Crain's) -- Shares in General Growth Properties Inc. jumped 25% Friday after the shopping mall owner said it had refinanced about $896 million in debt, easing concerns about the company's financial troubles.
General Growth stock jumps after refinancing news
Chicago-based General Growth said it had obtained loans to refinance $814 million in mortgage debt due next year and retire a $58-million bond that came due Thursday. The real estate investment trust (REIT) said it is still in talks with lenders for more time to pay off $900 million in two loans due today.
Though those two loans present a more urgent problem for General Growth, the news about the refinancing is "very positive," indicating that the company will be able to refinance more of its debt, said Rich Moore, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets.
General Growth shares rose $1.05, or 73%, to $2.49 early Friday but fell back to $1.85 in midday trading. The shares closed at $1.80, up 36 cents, or 25%.
General Growth shares have fallen from a high this year of $43.83 in May amid concern that General Growth will be unable to refinance its heavy debt load due to the global financial crisis, and may file for bankruptcy protection.
The second-largest U.S. mall owner, General Growth owns more than 200 malls, including Oakbrook Center, Northbrook Court and Water Tower Place on Michigan Avenue.
In its recent refinancing, General Growth has obtained about $896 million in mortgage loans with maturity dates ranging from five to seven years, the company said in a news release. The REIT did not disclose the terms of the loans or identify the properties it refinanced.
General Growth recently got a two-week extension on the $900 million in loans, which now mature today. Used to finance the Fashion Show and Palazzo malls in Las Vegas, those loans originally were due Nov. 28.
"There can be no assurance that the company" will get further extensions on the loans, the release said.
With the new loans, General Growth would have about $2.5 billion remaining in debt due next year.
"While the biggest investor concerns regarding (General Growth) are still outstanding, today's announcement does highlight that secured debt is still available, though likely on stricter terms," Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. analyst Lou Taylor wrote in a report.

In the meantime, let's look at our pretty flowers and shrubs instead!
|Bekah decided to re-do her flower pot sign this year. Here she is putting a coat of poly on it. It says, "Bekah's pot of petals and such". She added the "and such" because of her little frog statue and welcome rock, which you can't even see now!
|A close up of her petals! Her lilies are all remnants of one she planted in there last year. They spread like crazy!
|This one is Alarik's pot. He DID help plant.
|Here's the hostas along the garage. This is the third year for these plants and they are doing great. Every time he looks at them, Jesse asks if I feel dumb that we waited so long to get good perennials planted.
|And here's some brand new hostas we ordered from Farmer's Seed Company this spring. This one is Regal Blue.

Any recommended AEG Techs?
Adam S replied to Adam S's topic in Recommend a TechThanks for the heads up
Any recommended AEG Techs?
Adam S posted a topic in Recommend a TechSo i've decided it's time for my baby to have an upgrade (i'm currently running an ICS CXP-16 L fully stock which only fires at 280fps for some reason) and although I trust myself with certain aspects of techhing, I can't risk doing more difficult parts such as installing a mosfet, shimming the gears etc given my inexperience. This means I must look to find professional help and was wondering if you guys could recommend anybody. I've already looked at KingdomOfAirsoft and might end up using him but wanted to make sure I knew all the options before making a decision. Many Thanks A
A comprehensive list of ALL airsoft parts?
Adam S replied to Adam S's topic in General HelpGod that sounds like a lot of work... guess I could though if i have time.... Hold on 'RealSteel' isn't a brand? It's for real guns? huh... didn't know that
A comprehensive list of ALL airsoft parts?
Adam S posted a topic in General HelpHi guys This may seem like a stupid question, but i'm looking to get furniture for my AEG and i'm finding that different shops have completely different stocks, handguards, grips and various other parts when compared to others. I.e. patrol base has lots of Magpul and Ares but Fire support has lots of Classic Army and ASG. I was wondering if there was a comprehensive list of all the furniture that is available from all airsoft manufacturers, it kinda sounds like wishful thinking but such a list would be very helpful for my endeavours. Fire support has a pretty good/expansive choice of parts but i'd like to make sure I know every option before I make my choice. Thanks .A

Upgrading a WE G18CHi guys, just wondering what parts I could upgrade in my stock WE G18C to maximise its performance. Everything from FPS to range and accuracy. I have a rough idea but my speciality is with AEGs not gas guns so any advice would be great. Thanks
SAR-10 C02 to Spring?
Adam S posted a topic in Single Action GunsSo I recently bought this -> https://www.airsoftworld.net/swiss-arms-sar10-co2-gas-vsr-black.html , thinking it would be a pretty cool first sniper for someone looking to get into airsoft sniping. But I took it to my local site and it turns out that they don't allow C02 snipers because the FPS is too variable...... now, am I screwed or can I convert it to a spring system instead of a gas one? I can easily remove the bolt, cylinder and such which leads my to think that i could just insert a spring system as a substitute but i'm not sure. Any advice would be great as i'm obviously quite new to this <3
I have the same then, all but the stock are metal
Is that the same thing? Thanks again!
Yeah i thought that might be the case, the site i play at do it for you if you hit over 350 when they chrono. One thing though is that i've spent the last hour looking and all of the M110 springs are out of stock... plenty of M120s but none of the above... guess i'll have to wait
Ok, thanks a lot dude!
Upgrading an ICS CXP-16 L
Adam S posted a topic in Electric GunsHi there As the title says i'm looking to upgrade my CXP-16 as i'm starting to get seriously into airsoft. Last Chrono'd it was shooting around 280 on .2s (with a 1600mAh 9.6V nunchuck battery) which is pretty pathetic and i've just noticed upon closer inspection on the ICS website that imports into the U.K get automatically downgraded to get beneath the 350fps legal limit..... probably should've checked that pre-purchase. They did this by instead installing a M100 spring (instead of an M120) and an Infinite 2500 Motor (instead of a Turbo 3000). Given this, does it mean that if i were to upgrade the motor/spring I wouldn't have to get better gears, spring guides etc since the ones inside are already designed to work with a better spring/motor? Anyway, i'd like to upgrade it both internally and externally to get as close to 350fps as possible while also increasing range. I don't mind about increasing ROF as it's already quite high (don't have a specific number but it's faster than any other stock AEG i've seen) What internals would you guys suggest getting (I don't really have a budget as i'll be running this as my main for quite some time), bearing in mind that it has a split-gearbox design (would this affect compatibility with different internals?). From what i'd gathered key things to get are: a 6.03 Tightbore barrel a better spring and motor (if i get an M120 will it likely be too powerful and go over the 350fps limit?) better hop-up metal bushings? (how do I know if I already have these since i'm not yet comfortable taking apart the gearbox) A large problem is that I can't for the life of me find a concise part list of what's already inside it (as shown by my not noticing the downgraded internals) this means that a large number of the potential upgrades could already be stock (metal bushings/spring guide, piston head etc.) Photos were too large to post here to uploaded them to Imgur - Ignore the two-tone..... I wasn't old enough to apply for UKARA until now so I had to make do...... What externals would be compatible with it? For example, i'd been looking into getting http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/Ares-Octarms-Tactical-Keymod-Rail-Handguard-12-Black_A21AFH.aspx#.WOpjrWnyuUk to replace the stock RIS/RAS kit and http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/ICS-MTR-ABS-Carbine-Stock-Black_A21GTU.aspx#.WOpj_WnyuUk to replace the current crane stock (currently where the battery resides so how would I go about rewiring it to accomodate the new stock?) As you can tell i'm very new to teching so any tips/advice you can give would be really helpful. Many Thanks - Adam

Kids, teenagers and school college students will find studying human anatomy a breeze with these web sites, video games, and free apps exploring the mystery and genius of the human physique. Poptropica is a well-liked on-line virtual adventure for teenagers that offers an educational adventure. We did not get a Nintendo DS until my youngest was four. He's able to play a number of the games that his brother can however you need to make sure that to choose games that don't require studying or other skills your toddler hasn't acquired yet. Fu-Hsing Tsai, Kuang-Chao Yu and Hsien-Sheng Hsiao wrote a paper and have proposed a recreation based studying model for designing a constructivist learning surroundings in online video games.
The only on-line video games I have tried to this point with my boys is a coin reminiscence recreation on and different money games on The second one has a couple of games for little ones and some for the older ones so you might see if he likes any of these. Still, nicely-designed video games and creative tasks can be very instructional, particularly for certain college students. While the principle recreation isn't Move compatible the downloadable mini games that this recreation offers you entry to are. Also take a look at the cooking web sites below for kids recipes geared toward preschoolers and suggestions for cooking with 3 12 months olds.
I would have enjoyed having an iPad with cool apps when my youngsters were little, notably when we had been touring or waiting for an appointment, and so forth. Poptropica is aimed at children from age 6 to 15 and exists in an academic format the place youngsters play games, travel and communicate with each other solely at a safe level. I favored this work partly as a result of it supplies proof that may video games for change could make a distinction compared to other media but additionally because the authors discovered that appreciation (slightly than enjoyment) mediated donation behaviour.
Some of those board games get performed via the next yr and for years after while others continue to sit down on the shelf. This lens is excellent.. I actually have been engaged on (for about 9868568998 years) a book about instructing elementary school age kids concerning the human body and I significantly needed something to spice up my research! The PBworks one additionally has quite a lot of good links that my google searches has not picked up on. I like the serious video games article(3rd one) expecially the write-up about EVEonline. It's an interactive, online multiplayer game in which children create their very own hero and explore a galaxy stuffed with fun and journey.
Another great website to check out is They have academic games in a bunch of various subjects and likewise break them down into subareas. But mother and father might find the parental controls getting used to, as they are not as intuitive as native-born kids tablets like the VTech and LeapFrog offerings. Educational games fouryearolds get pleasure from rehearsing the skills they're learning in preschool.

Knowing what sticks
Getting a bitcoin wallet, finding the first broker you lay your eyes upon and diving right into the middle of things is not difficult to achieve. It is actually a no-brainer. But doing it intelligently is the key here. And, with regards to bitcoin brokers, it matters a lot to know by which criteria to choose them.
And here are the most important ones to keep in mind:
– Regulations and certifications – There should be no such thing as not caring for regulations. An unregulated broker cannot offer you a legalized framework, which means you'll have no way of knowing your capital is secure. Or your private data for that matter. Fortunately, unregulated brokers are a dying breed.
– User-friendly profile – Some brokers are meant for professionals only, while others are too beginner-friendly. You probably want something in between. But, regardless of what you want, the platform should be easy to use, with all the necessary information one-click away. Two clicks at most.
– Low rates and fees – It goes without saying that the best broker is the cheapest broker. Just make sure cheapness doesn't come with hidden minuses on top of that. Any type of minuses, like few withdrawals options, high margin trading fees and so on.
– Optimized platform – You are interested in high responsiveness, low delay time, smooth interface and anything in between.
– High security – What matters is for the broker to ensure the safety of your capital, as well as the safety and the privacy of your personal data. Pay great attention to these aspects and always look for 2-3 steps authentication procedures, if nothing else.
Obviously, there are other aspects that count, probably not as much, but they do anyway. Like the broker's popularity, the overall reviews and so on. They will, however, stack up to make for a more complete profile analysis. So, you might want to take into account as many aspects as you can.
With that being said, let's have a look at some of the most popular and well-received Bitcoin brokers currently on the market.
Some of the best around
Now, I have to clarify what I mean by "the best". This term refers to those that come with most of the qualities I have mentioned previously in the article. So, your definition of the best might vary from mine, if you tend to take other things into consideration as more important.
Having that out of the way, here are some of the best bitcoin brokers you can find.
1. Trade.com
Trade.com is a worldwide known broker, with a pretty solid user-base. It is regulated by CySEC and MiFID and it operates under the legal jurisdiction of Swiss Franc on top of that. So, you don't have to worry about the trust level here.
The maximum leverage you will be getting in cryptocurrency CFD trading is 1:300 and the minimum amount you need to open the basic account is $100. Which is pretty affordable. And since we're talking about accounts, Trade.com offers 3 options in this regard: classic, standard and premium. Each with their own requirements and benefits. So, flexibility and diversity are no issues either.
Trade.com's policies are transparent and the fees fall into the range of the acceptable. All in all, a pretty worthy option in the end.
– Highly optimized platforms
– Affordable and moderate fees
– Multiple withdrawal options
– Multiple account choices
– Guaranteed Stop Loss and Limit Orders available
– Guaranteed Execution available
– No E-mail alerts
– No Islamic accounts
2. Admiral Markets
If you haven't heard about Admiral Markets, you either didn't spend enough time in the trading industry or you've been activating in the wrong business circles. Admiral Markets is one of the most reliable brokers around and for good reasons. It was born in 2001, which makes it one of the oldest on the market, and it has won several awards, including the Best MT4 Broker, as well as the Best Foreign Broker in Poland in 2015.
And these facts are no small things. Regarding the specifics, Admiral Markets comes with 3 different account types: Admiral.Markets, Admiral.Prime, Admiral.MT5. Obviously, each has its own plusses and minuses. It has a well optimized platform, a responsive Customer Support and it is more user-friendly than a lot of its competition.
– Guaranteed Limit Orders
– Several platforms available, including MetaTrader 4 and 5
– Spreads starting with 1 pips
– 3 different types of accounts
– E-mail and Direct Chat Support available
– Maximum leverage of 1:500
– It lacks E-mail alerts and Guaranteed Stop Losses
3. EasyMarkets
Another regulated broker, another high-quality, top-tier contender to the list of the best of the best. EasyMarkets has been founded in 2001, just like Admiral Markets and it is one of the oldest brokers on the market. It is regulated by CySEC, MiFID and ASIC and it has several offices spread in multiple locations around the globe.
With over $1 trillion in capitalization and over 100k active traders, it is no wonder that this broker has the popular vote to his side. You will get one standard account to play with, along with a VIP account, for those looking for a boost along the way. The deposits and withdrawals are fast and easy and the Customer Support is available 24/7, which is more than you can say about most of his competition.
– Guaranteed Stop Loss and Limit Orders on
– Guaranteed Execution and One-Click Execution on
– Friendly staff
– Fast deposits and withdrawals
– Regulated, reliable broker overall
– Plenty of educational material available
– The Customer Support only functions 24/7 for VIP members
– It lacks mobile trading
As you can see, these are just some samples of what you need to be looking for. You might as well as take these 3 as examples and work your way from there.
So, what's the verdict?
The verdict is this. The bitcoin trading market is ruthless, I'll give it that. But if you are decided to go all in, you might as well as do your homework in advance. Learn everything there is to learn about this business, keep your head up for both the dangers and the opportunities and you just might make it big someday.
And when you do, don't forget – I got you there, punk!

I'm Not Thankful For…
Here I am.
Writing my first official "holiday blurb" and I'll tell ya… it feels pretty fucking depressing. Why? Has it really come to this? Where did I go wrong? Has this thing I've heard about called Karma finally reared up and given it right back to me, ten fold? Probably not, for my sake. More likely I'm just an ugly American with a drug habit and a penchant for bad dancing and self sabotage. Yeah… I'll go with that one, karma's for squares. Anyways, of course I realize how easy it is to hate on the holidays so I'm gonna try my damndest to steer clear of that specific negativity, but if by chance I find myself dead man floating deep in those waters I'm gonna splash about, believe that homes.
So… Thanksgiving, it's a weird one, not exactly "Easter Weird" but weird nonetheless. Am I the only one who finds it strange that in these foul times we're strutting around planning elaborate feasts, excited about shovel feeding ourselves while getting that glazed look in our eyes? Feasts, they're weird enough but to have a national day dedicated to them? I don't know. And I hear some of you saying "It's about getting together with family and celebrating." Fine but celebrating what? What are we celebrating? And fuck you by the way, thanks for rubbing it in. Maybe one of the reasons I don't give a rats about Thanksgiving is because my "family" can only be described as a gross bunch of bitter out of work soap opera actors. I love Christmas though, go figure.
Shame on us, Black Friday. Really? The more I "think" about it I realize that I don't really even want to be writing this poison. I just want to listen to "Life on Mars" over and over again. So as I get more and more bored with this bullshit "cry for help" about celebrating this nations shameful past I also am realizing how hungry I'm getting. Something deep inside me is screaming for turkey, beef and gold bullion and I feel justified. I feel as if I deserve it. I feel as if I'm starving. I need something, right now. Happy Turkey Day.
I promise.

So I'm headlining a night of hodgepodge entertainment. There will be poets, musicians, and comedians. It's at a bookstore, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get drunk before the show or sneak a flask in. Books and coffee, two things I avoid on a daily basis.

text: Car Nation tunes up its payroll via outsourcingCentralized model placed all information for 7 dealerships in 1 locationBy Amanda Silliker09/10/2012|Canadian HR Reporter|Last Updated: 09/10/2012 Car Nation Canada, a network of auto dealers, has been expanding over the past several years and opening up new dealerships across Ontario. But since each dealership is responsible for providing its own payroll information, standardization and accuracy began to slip with each new location, says Jeff Clark, corporate controller at the Brantford, Ont.-based company. "A lot of information had to be pulled and maintained from each of the locations, and then we had to do intercompany couriers to get all the hard copies (to Brantford) because all the time clocks were standalone time clocks," he says. "That information had to be gathered on the Monday morning of payroll and sent either by fax or courier and it just created havoc."To regain control, Car Nation looked into outsourcing payroll so it could centralize the payroll system "seamlessly and without much effort," says Clark. "We were kind of outgrowing our in-house software and we wanted to broaden the horizon," he says. "We're working on centralization and this was a better avenue to be able to be centralized and be able to pull all the information from one location." After meeting with a couple of payroll service providers, Car Nation decided to go with ADP to outsource its payroll. Moving to a centralized model for payroll in one location allows a company to easily standardize not just the payroll software but the practices related to pay, time and labour, says David McIninch, vice-president of marketing at ADP in Toronto."If you can get to the point where you can standardize practices and procedures as it relates to the technology, then you can often drive really great business practices just off the fact that everybody's singing from the same songbook," he says. Centralization also has a positive impact on employee engagement, says McIninch. "When organizations get to the point where they can standardize things like overtime rules and hours collection and a number of things related to the day-to-day processes that underpin the pay cycle, you can often drive really great employee loyalty because you don't get the notion people working in dealership A have it any different than people working in dealership B," he says. The timekeeping system at 350-employee Car Nation was a major component that needed to be overhauled in the organization's quest for centralization.ADP's software allowed Car Nation to use the same time clock with the same setup at all seven locations, says Clark. "It allowed us to roll out unified standardization because even though they're different dealerships with different makes and models (of vehicles), we're still trying to standardize them and have a uniformed payroll system," he says.The new timekeeping system pairs a biometric hand scan with an employee number. This system helped Car Nation iron out a lot of the inaccurate information it was receiving from its old manual timekeeping clocks.RELATED ARTICLESEmployers anticipate 2.5 per cent increase for salaries in 2020: surveyGender wage gap narrows to 13.3 per cent; women earn $4.13 less per hourSalaries expected to grow by 2.7 per cent in 2020: survey"There was a lot of dishonesty happening, so there was buddy punching and that kind of stuff," says Clark. "So, this allowed us to be able to ensure people were properly punching in and out, and it became a more accurate timekeeping system."Moving from in-house payroll to outsourcing was a fairly seamless process, he says. Car Nation filled out templates and spreadsheets provided by ADP, and then ADP was able to export the information. ADP also provided training for the HR and payroll practitioners at the organization on the new software. The company ran two payrolls — the in-house system and the new ADP system — side-by-side for one dealership and did comparisons. Once it fixed the minor problems it had, it went live with the ADP system the first week of January 2012 in four stores and the following pay at the remaining stores. "We basically had a representative ready at our beck and call," says Clark. "We had one-on-one attention for those first several weeks — there was someone there still holding our hand."Outsourcing payroll can bring some significant cost savings to organizations, says McIninch. In cases where an employer outsources payroll and time and attendance to the same provider, it's looking at as much as 40 per cent savings relative to doing it themselves, he says. Another benefit is ADP also takes care of remitting payroll taxes — which is one less headache for Car Nation to worry about, says Clark. It also helped Car Nation in building some of its Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) reports.Throughout the changeover, ADP was able to identify problem areas — such as how vacation pay was structured — and make sure Car Nation was in compliance with current legislation, says McIninch."The goal was to look at the vacation pay structure — and anything else that may not be either standardized or appropriate for the environment they're in — and ensure the necessary changes were made so Car Nation was both compliant in all areas of payroll and time collection but would also be able to roll out a cohesive vacation pay structure as well," he says. Employees have benefited from payroll being outsourced because they are paid more accurately and in a more timely fashion, says Clark. While some of the dealerships were already using direct deposit, others were still using cheques and the company was sometimes "kind of sporadic with the in-house system," he says. "A lot of (employees) wanted to be on direct deposit, so it was a very welcoming thing," says Clark. "A lot of employees don't want to be standing in line on a Friday night to cash their cheque, so the introduction of direct deposit was received with open arms." And Car Nation is in the process of rolling out the ADP self-service online system, where employees can obtain their pay stubs online.As in Car Nation's case, when a company is looking to grow — whether it be increasing head count or adding new locations — it's the perfect time to consider outsourcing payroll, says McIninch. "It's a really great time to deploy new technology because you're already trying to make changes in the business anyway and, typically, change isn't particularly incremental when rolling through a new process for payroll," he says. "It helps the business become more efficient, save time and money."© Copyright Canadian HR Reporter, HAB Press. All rights reserved. Add Comment * Title * Name * Email Anonymous * Comment

Every TVR sports car has been greater than the sum of its parts, and the Tasmin was no exception. Introduced as a replacement for TVR's M series Taimar, the Tasmin pillaged parts from a variety of other cars (mainly Fords) and reconfigured them with typical TVR chutzpah into a pocket rocket of real, if quirky, distinction.
The Tasmin was almost a wedge car. For the first time ever, TVR appeared to be influenced by fashion: the Tasmin's profile and contours shared the 'origami' (paper-folding) characteristics made popular by design specialist Giugiaro. It was almost pretty — a departure for TVR that brought its own problems.
The Tasmin's wheelbase was short, but longer than the Taimar; and the chassis still came as the same space-frame built of small diameter, round and square-sectioned tubes. The hood was long for the 'front mid-engine' siting, and tapered into a droopy 'anteater' nose which contrasted oddly with the cut-off rear.
The effect would have been sleek, but for the stumpy, fat B-pillar of the coupe's roof. The convertible got round that effect with a folding, Targa-style hoop which became standard for all TVR's convertibles thereafter. At least the convertible didn't pretend to be more than a two-seater — the rear seats of the 2+2 coupe were an optimistic joke.
But the car wasn't. The Tasmin was fast. TVR tried a variety of engines in the Tasmin's production lifetime, and the only failure was the 2 litre Pinto engine, introduced to offer a less expensive Tasmin experience, but depriving the car of its most desirable attribute. The Tasmin's good reputation rests on the standard 280i , a Ford V6 that made the most of the snappy styling. Later production versions were said to be able to 'outdrag a Porsche Turbo'. Alas, price prevented most people from finding out.
1981 (until 1988)
2,792 cc OHV V6
Top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h); 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.0 secs
Should you be privileged to drive a TVR Tasmin 280i series II (produced in the late mid-80s), be warned that this model is widely feared as one of the 'scariest cars ever in the wet'. Of course, you might feel that only makes the experience more thrilling …

"Again like in our last press release of the Pandora the only two items that could cause these new great cases to fail and flop is, price and QA. If these new cases come in aggressive enough and with great quality parts they will be a massive winner. If they fault on either of these two items they could very well just end up being cool cases that are seen at shows and gaming events"
Another awesome new case from Bitfenix

Fast-Break Recap: Chicago Bulls 104, Toronto Raptors 97
Game 29: Chicago Bulls (17-12) defeat Toronto Raptors (19-13), 104-97
December 28, 2015
United Center – Chicago
Quick Take
After falling behind by nine points in the first quarter, the Bulls bounced back in the second quarter with Aaron Brooks and Bobby Portis leading the way.
The bench duo of Brooks and Portis accounted for all but five of the Bulls' 26 second quarter points. Their efforts weren't enough, though. The Raptors still held a 52-49 lead at halftime.
The Raptors' halftime lead put them in a good position to maintain such in the third quarter, but the tables turned as the period came to a close. An 8-1 run by the Bulls to finish out the quarter gave them a 78-73 lead heading into the final period.
The Bulls' bench opened the fourth on a strong note and, eventually, built up a double-digit lead. A driving layup by Tony Snell — who scored 14 of the Bulls' 26 fourth-quarter points — at the 9:22 mark gave the Bulls a 10-point lead, and the lead failed to change hands again.
The Raptors did make a small 7-2 run in the last minute or so of the game, but it wasn't enough to hold off the Bulls.
Player of the Game
Tony Snell
Snell came off the bench and scored 22 points on 8-for-14 shooting from the field with 4-of-5 shooting on 3-pointers. He also added seven rebounds, an assist and a block His 22 points were also enough to tie Pau Gasol for the title of the Bulls' leading scorer.
Honorable Mention
Aaron Brooks scored 17 points in 27 minutes as the primary backup point guard. He was 6-for-13 from the field and 1-for-3 from downtown and went 4-of-5 from the charity stripe. He also added three rebounds and five assists and committed only one turnover.
Key Numbers
With Doug McDermott experiencing some right knee soreness, the Bulls' bench consisted of only four people Monday night: Brooks, Kirk Hinrich, Portis and Snell. All four of them scored and played 27 minutes besides Hinrich. Despite the small number, the Bulls' bench still easily outperformed the Raptors' bench, outscoring them 51-27.
Matchup of the Game Result
The Bulls' starting backcourt versus the Raptors' starting backcourt
Derrick Rose had a nice night with 20 points on 7-for-16 shooting in 29 minutes, so he performed just as been expected of him, but the same couldn't be said for Jimmy Butler.
Butler had just five points on 2-of-7 from the field in the 36 minutes he was on the court; however, he didn't really have to be the scorer he has become known as with the way the Bulls' bench performed. And it's not as if he failed to contribute: Butler also had four rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks. But those other feats don't match up as well with that of the Raptors' starting backcourt.
DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry combined for 47 points. DeRozan had a near triple-double of 19 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Lowry's stat line was nearly as impressive 28 points, six rebounds, nine assists and three steals. It is worth mentioning, however, that the Raptors' backcourt duo had to perform at a higher level to make up for their bench's lesser productivity.
Looking Forward
The Bulls take on Central Division foe, the Indiana Pacers, Wednesday night at 7 p.m. central at the United Center.
A previous version of this post said, in the "Quick Take," the Bulls went on an 8-0 run in the third quarter instead of an 8-1 run. The Bulls Charge apologizes for this error.
