Responding to growing patient interest in online communication, many physicians are overcoming resistance to electronic communication, but they are encountering complex choices when it comes to selecting the right tools for their practice.
As of 2003, case study examples of the effective use of stand-alone and integrated online messaging tools, developments in the reimbursement arena, and liability and privacy guidelines were leading more physician practices to consider communicating online with their patients. For practices that lacked office-based electronic medical record (EMR) or clinical systems, the use of stand-alone email tools was a cost-effective solution. Practices already using EMR or clinical information systems had several options from which to choose for integrating communication into these systems while streamlining office workflow.
Understanding the available options, the key dimensions that distinguished them, and the lessons learned by physician practices that had succeeded can help an office select an effective approach for patient-provider communication.
The complete report, published in 2003, is available under Document Downloads below.

Rather than continuing a blog of rants and raves, I'm probably going to be transitioning this site to a photo blog. I've taken up photography in the past year, and in that year, I've had a chance to really work on my skills. I doubt I'll ever be a professional, but it's a hobby I enjoy. Plus I get to meet some really interesting people in the process.
I'll probably keep my old posts live somewhere on this site. It's always fun to look back at my writings from years ago and laugh at how sure of my thoughts and beliefs I was. I'm sure I'll look back at the Keith of 2012 and laugh at him. Such is personal evolution. I'm actually quite glad that I haven't stagnated, having stood still in one way of thinking, one way of viewing life.
In the meantime, if you want to keep up with me, I do post quite a bit on my other Twitter account, Austin Otaku. Feel free to follow me there.

Beginners and experts alike should always be learning the latest information related to buying real estate to stay on top of their game. The following information will help you to be able to tackle any real estate endeavor that should arise.
Be moderate in your real estate negotiations. Many times people are too aggressive because they are trying to get the best price, and they end up losing out entirely. Be clear and firm about what you want but let your lawyer or realtor do the negotiation for you.
Generally, properties that are in need of multiple upgrades or repairs carry a lower price tag. This saves you money on your purchase, allowing you to invest extra capital into fixing your home at your own pace. You can not only design your home in a manner that appeals to you, but you will also build equity with your improvements. It is important to look at the positive potential in the home rather than the drawbacks. The home of your dreams might be waiting for you behind an outwardly rough exterior.
Find a trustworthy partner to work with when buying a large and expensive commercial property. It will make it easier to qualify for the loan that you need to buy the property. A partner can help with the down payment and the credit that is needed to get qualified for a commercial loan.
Consider where you see yourself in the future when shopping for a home. If you are planning on having kids, make sure that you purchase a home that has a good school nearby.
Make sure to ask your Realtor to supply you with a checklist. A sound Realtor will already know everything that needs to happen for your home purchase to go smoothly and should have a checklist for you to know every step to be taken. Using this checklist can help you make sure that you have completed everything in time to close the sale.
Interest Rate
Ask the seller if they would contribute towards closing costs as part of your offer. You can often "buy down" an interest rate, in which the seller pays to lower your interest rate for some time in the beginning. However, be aware that a seller is usually less inclined to reduce the selling price if financial incentives are included in the offer.
Before you buy any real estate, make sure you do your research. Lots of people try to participate in the real estate market too fast. They end up making terrible purchases, and lose a large amount of money. So, before buying any property, make sure that you find out about the surrounding area, the local crime rate, the age of the property, etc.
If you are considering starting a business, select real estate that is in an acceptable neighborhood. Starting a new business in an area of high crime and dilapidated buildings will not win you many customers. Ask Realtors where you should open up shop.
A good home-buying tip to use is to find a real estate age who is intimately familiar with the area. Ask your agent if he or she has ever lived in the general area. The less experience they have, the less they will know about the potential neighborhood. Ideally, look for an agent who has lived in the area for at least 10 years.
You must research the neighborhood of a home before you buy. If the neighborhood isn't suitable for you and your family, you will probably regret making the purchase. It's essential to research the neighborhood, so you truly understand what you are buying into.
When looking for new real estate investments, you should always focus on your goals. Some goals are short term, but others are longer term. If the current property you are considering does not fit within your goals, don't even consider it. Many property owners fail to make sure their needs are met and end up with a losing investment.
If you are buying a home and you also own a car, make certain there is plenty of parking nearby or a dedicated parking space. This is very important when considering homes that lacks a driveway. If you choose a location with little parking, you may find yourself having to hike long distances each evening from parking spots well out of your way.
When buying foreclosed properties, hire a good attorney who specializes in real estate. Unexpected complications are especially troublesome in foreclosure-related deals, and consulting a legal professional should be considered. In the end, this could pay for itself and save you a lot of headaches.
Prioritize what you really want when negotiating a deal in real estate. Get all the issues out in the open and set expectations per each one. Your convictions and expectations will be useful for prioritizing each goal. It is important to realize that everything will not go your way during a negotiation. You need to be somewhat flexible in order to get what you really want.
As you've been able to see from the information outlined above, there's a lot for first time property buyers to consider but with a common sense approach and diligent research you'll be successful in reaching your goal. Take the tips and suggestions you learned here, and you'll be a more confident and savvy property buyer.

[281 U.S. 673, 674] Mr. Roy W. Rucker, of Sedalia, Mo., for petitioner.
Mr. Lieutellus Cunningham, of Jefferson City, Mo., for respondent.
Mr. Justice BRANDEIS delivered the opinion of the Court.
In 1928, the Brinkerhoff-Faris Trust & Savings Company, acting as trustee for its shareholders, brought this suit in a Missouri court against the treasurer of Henry county, Mo., to enjoin him from collecting or attempting to collect a certain part of the taxes assessed against them for the year 1927 on the shares of its stock; and, pending decision in this suit, to restrain the prosecution of an action already brought by him against the plaintiff for that purpose.
The bill alleged that the township assessor had intentionally and systematically discriminated against the shareholders by assessing bank stock at full value, while intentionally and systematically omitting to assess certain classes of property and assessing all other classes of property at 75 per cent. or less of their value. It asserted that, to the extent of 25 per cent., the assessments were void because such discrimination violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. And it recited that the plaintiff had tendered, and was continuing to tender, payment of the 75 per cent. of the taxes assessed, which amount it conceded was due. As grounds for equity jurisdiction, the bill charged that relief could not be had at law, either by way of defense in the pending action brought by the treasurer or by paying the tax in full under protest and suing for a refund of 25 per cent. thereof; and that no administrative remedy for the relief [281 U.S. 673, 675] sought was, or ever had been, provided by law either by appeal or otherwise to or from the county board of equalization or the state board of equalization.
The defendant's answer denied all the allegations of discrimination and further opposed relief in equity on the grounds that the plaintiff had not pursued remedies before the county or state board of equalization pursuant to articles 3 and 5 of chapter 119 of the Missouri Revised Statutes of 1919 (sections 12820-12827, 12853-12857), and that the plaintiff was guilty of laches in not so doing. The trial court refused the injunction and dismissed the bill, without opinion or findings of fact.
The Supreme Court of Missouri held, on appeal, that relief from the alleged discriminatory assessment could not be had in any suit at law; that his bill in equity was the appropriate and only remedy, unless relief could have been had by timely application to some administrative board; and that neither of the boards of equalization was charged with the power and duty to grant such relief. But, without passing definitely upon the question of discrimination, it concluded that if the plaintiff had 'at any time before the tax books were delivered to the collector, filed complaint with the state tax commission, that body, in the proper exercise of its jurisdiction. would have granted a hearing, and would have heard evidence with respect to the valuations complained of, and, if the charges contained in the complaint had been found to be true, the valuations placed on its property would have been lowered, or that on other property raised, the property omitted from the assessment roll would have been placed thereon, and the discrimination complained of thereby removed. The remedy provided by statute is adequate, certain, and complete.' Compare First National Bank of Greeley v. Weld County, 264 U.S. 450 , 44 S. Ct. 385. The court held, therefore, that, because plaintiff had this ade- [281 U.S. 673, 676] quate legal remedy, it was not entitled to equitable relief, and because plaintiff had not complained to the tax commission, 'it was clearly guilty of laches in not so doing.' On these grounds, the Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court. 19 S.W.(2d) 746.
The powers and duties of the state tax commission are prescribed by article 4 of chapter 119 of the Revised Statutes of 1919 (sections 12828- 12852). Six years before this suit was begun, those provisions had been construed by the Supreme Court of Missouri in Laclede Land & Improvement Co. v. State Tax Commission, 295 Mo. 298, 243 S. W. 887. There, the court had been required to determine whether the commission had power to grant relief of the character here sought. The commission had refused, on the ground of lack of power, an application for relief from discrimination similar to that here alleged. The Laclede Company petitioned for a mandamus to compel the commission to hear its complaint. The Supreme Court denied the petition, saying that it was 'preposterous' and 'unthinkable' that the statute conferred such power on the commission; and that if the statute were thus construed, it would violate section 10 of article 10 of the Constitution of Missouri. That decision was thereafter consistently acted upon by the commission; and it was followed by the Supreme Court itself in later cases. 1 [281 U.S. 673, 677] No one doubted the authority of the Laclede Case until it was expressly overruled in the case at bar. 2 While the defendant's answer asserted that the plaintiff had not availed itself of the administrative remedies under articles 3 and 5 of chapter 119 by application to the boards of equalization and was guilty of laches in not so doing ( contentions which the state court held to be unsound), the answer significantly omitted any contention that there had been a remedy by application to the state tax commission, whose powers are dealt with in the intervening article 4. The possibility of relief before the tax commission was not suggested by any one in the entire litigation until the Supreme Court filed its opinion on June 29, 1929. Then it was too late for the plaintiff to avail itself of the newly found remedy. For, under that decision, the application to the tax commission could not be made after the tax books were delivered to the collector; and this had been done about October 1, 1927
The plaintiff seasonably filed a petition for a rehearing in which it recited the above facts and asserted, in addition to its claims on the merits, that, in applying the new construction of article 4 of chapter 119 to the case at bar, and in refusing relief because of the newly found powers of the commission, the court transgressed the due [281 U.S. 673, 678] process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The additional federal claim thus made was timely, since it was raised at the first opportunity. Missouri ex rel. Missouri Ins. Co. v. Gehner, 281 U.S. 313 , 50 S. Ct. 326, 74 L. Ed. -. The petition was denied without opinion. This court granted certiorari. 280 U.S. 550 , 50 S. Ct. 152, 74 L. Ed. -. We are of opinion that the judgment of the Supreme Court of Missouri must be reversed, because it has denied to the plaintiff 'due process of law'-using that term in its primary sense of an opportunity to be heard and to defend its substantive right.
First. It is plain that the practical effect of the judgment of the Missouri court is to deprive the plaintiff of property without affording it at any time an opportunity to be heard in its defense. The plaintiff asserted an invasion of its substantive right under the federal Constitution to equality of treatment. Greene v. Louisville & Interurban R. R. Co., 244 U.S. 499 , 37 S. Ct. 673, Ann. Cas. 1917E, 88; Sioux City Bridge Co. v. Dakota County, 260 U.S. 441 , 43 S. Ct. 190, 28 A. L. R. 979. If the allegations of the complaint could be established, the federal Constitution conferred upon the plaintiff the right to have the assessments abated by 25 per cent. In order to protect its property from being seized in payment of the part of the tax alleged to be unlawful, the plaintiff invoked the appropriate judicial remedy provided by the state. Second Employers' Liability Cases, 223 U.S. 1 , 55- 57, 32 S. Ct. 169, 38 L. R. A. (N. S.) 44.
Under the settled law of the state, that remedy was the only one available. That a bill in equity is appropriate and that the court has power to grant relief, even under the new construction of the statute dealing with the tax commission, is not questioned. 3 And it is held by the state court in this case that no other judicial remedy is open to the plaintiff and that no administrative [281 U.S. 673, 679] remedy, other than that before the state tax commission, has been provided. But, after the decision in the Laclede Case, it would have been entirely futile for the plaintiff to apply to the commission. That body had persistently refused to entertain such applications; and the Supreme Court of the state had supported it in its refusal. Thus, until June 29, 1929, when the opinion in the case at bar was delivered, the tax commission could not, because of the rule of the Laclede Case, grant the relief to which the plaintiff was entitled on the facts alleged. After June 29, 1929, the commission could not grant such relief to this plaintiff because, under the decision of the court in this case, the time in which the commission could act had long expired. Obviously, therefore, at no time did the state provide to the plaintiff an administrative remedy against the alleged illegal tax; and in invoking the appropriate judicial remedy, the plaintiff did not omit to comply with any existing condition precedent. Montana National Bank v. Yellowstone County, 276 U.S. 499, 505 , 48 S. Ct. 331.
If the judgment is permitted to stand, deprivation of plaintiff's property is accomplished without its ever having had an opportunity to defend against the exaction. The state court refused to hear the plaintiff's complaint and denied it relief, and because of lack of power or because of any demerit in the complaint, but because, assuming power and merit, the plaintiff did not first seek an administrative remedy which, in fact was never available and which is not now open to it. Thus, by denying to it the only remedy ever available for the enforcement of its right to prevent the seizure of its property, the judgment deprives the plaintiff of its property.
Second. If the result above stated were attained by an exercise of the state's legislative power, the transgression of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment [281 U.S. 673, 680] would be obvious. Ettor v. Tacoma, 228 U.S. 148 , 33 S. Ct. 428.4 The violation is none the less clear when that result is accomplished by the state judiciary in the course of construing an otherwise valid (First National Bank of Greeley v. Weld County, 264 U.S. 450 , 44 S. Ct. 385) state statute. The federal guaranty of due process extends to state action through its judicial as well as through its legislative, executive, or administrative branch of government.

Devs could technically bring Unreal Engine 4 games to Wii U
Posted on March 30, 2013 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U
Wii U and other current-gen platforms can't run Unreal Engine 4 in its original state. However, Epic Games' co-founder Mark Rein has now clarified that it is technically possible to release games supported by the tech on older systems.
Rein told Engadget:
"You heard the stupid gaffe yesterday about the Wii U. If someone wants to take Unreal Engine 4 and ship a game on Wii U, they can! If they wanna ship an Unreal Engine 4 game on Xbox 360, they could make it happen."
The point is that even though Unreal Engine 4 can't run directly on Wii U, games could be brought to the system even though the visuals would be a bit worse. That's because Epic's technology is scalable.

I notice that you're very fond of inserting smileys in your posts. Please don't insert too many smileys per post. Too many smileys slow down the loading of the page for users with slow connection, not to mention the fact that they make the thread very difficult to read.
I'm on mobile broadband so my Internet connection speed is extremely fickle, depending on the volume of traffic. When there are too many people using the Internet and bandwidth is limited, a page with too many unnecessary smileys may be almost impossible to download for me.

Interviewer: It appears as if it is taking much longer for new oil and gas projects to be executed.
Jeroen van der Veer: It is quite clear that the active interest that governments show is leading to project delays . Negotiations on the share of profits from the governmental side are taking much longer than before. One would think that higher oil and gas prices will lead to an acceleration of decision making, in reality the opposite is happening. On the longer term this is having an influence on the speed at which new projects can be put into production.
Interviewer: These delays are occurring at the same time as the natural production
decline of oil and gas fields continues and as the demand for energy is rising. The "peak oil" theory does seem to be correct.
Jeroen van der Veer: The peak oil theory, as it was first published by the old American Shell employee King Hubbert, is correct, at least for the easy oil [easily extractable conventional crude]. But Hubbert did not have the Gulf of Mexico on his radar screen. Neither did he think of the oil sands in Canada. For the oil sands a peak oil theory can also be formulated, but for the moment we are still at the beginning of it. And there are many more unconventional sources that can be developed.
Interviewer: But the world is currently running on 85 million barrels of crude oil per day. Mostly from easy oil which is not so easily substituted by unconventional sources.
Jeroen van der Veer: Correct. A considerable amount of knowledge and know-how needs to be developed and large investements need to take place in unconventional oil projects. We have said that in 2015 around 15 per cent of the oil production of Shell should come from unconventional sources. Already the oil industry is very capital intensive and that will only increase – it will become a gigantic investment industry. My proof for all of this? The world in 2015 will use more energy than today and for every barrel more investment will have taken place. And that trend is not going to end in 2015. A growing world population and growing welfare are different types of 'inconvenient truths'.
Interviewer: Does that mean that '100 dollar oil' is just the beginning?
Jeroen van der Veer: For our investment decision we are in any case taking a much lower oil price to see whether projects are worth investing in. The "difficult oil" can easily be produced on a sound financial basis at much lower oil prices than 100 dollars. The nearly mythical hundred dollars per barrel is based in the perception of a coming shortage of capacity on the oil market. But I think that the demand for oil will react to the present high price, although with some delay. However, this will not lead to a decline in demand, but in lower demand growth. We also know that there is a lot of psychology in the present oil price. The reality is that throughout the chain no one has to wait for any oil: tankers don't have to wait to be loaded, refineries don't have to wait for tankers, trucks don't have to wait at the refinery and consumers don't have to wait at the filling stations. The physical system is functioning properly. In addition it is an economic law that demand and supply are always in balance. Apparently not everyone is realising this. Sometimes there are frictions, which are showing itself in the price, to which supply and demand are both reactions. This law has not been put out of business.
Interviewer: According to the International Energy Agency in its most recent World Energy Outlook it is possible that a 'supply side crunch' will occur somewhere between 2012 and 2015, at which oil supply can no longer meet demand. How likely do you find such a prediction is?
Jeroen van der Veer: I don't know. On top of that I only look at whether we have sufficient opportunities as a company for our business. I am not an industry guru. At the moment I see that we have adequate resources to develop new projects. Shell currently has 60 billion barrels oil-equivalent of 'to develop resources' at which we can unleash our technology. That is where my attention lies.

Are you up to spec? Service centers need systems that help them meet ever-tightening customer specifications.
Service centers go to great lengths to ensure the material they process and deliver will meet their customer's requirements. For some customers, and in particular some industries, requirements go beyond physical tolerances and surface conditions to include industry- or customer-specific metal standards. These standards typically encompass chemical and mechanical property ranges that provide the customer with the necessary metal properties for forming, welding, bending, strength, and other treatments. To ensure the material conforms to their requirements, customers frequently specify one or more metal standards when placing orders with service centers.
To meet this challenge, service centers look to metal industry ERP systems to provide integrated functions that enable material to be purchased and sold to specific metal standards, ensuring their inventories can fulfill their customer's requirements. Without a high level of integration, the process becomes manually intensive, error prone and can lead to costly mistakes, customer returns and, in the end, poor customer service.
Metal standards are established by various societies and organizations such as ASTM, SAE, MIL, EN, JIS and DIN. Each organization publishes standard chemical and mechanical properties for the various grades of steel and metal. In addition, certain large end-users have created their own standards, which often include more restrictive or purpose-specific standards. For example, GE, Ford and GM each have their own unique standards for the material they purchase.
Setting the standard
For the service center, the process begins with establishing in the ERP system the various industry and customer standards to which the inventory must conform. This includes the minimum and maximum values for the chemical and mechanical properties in each standard.
Purchasing: When entering a purchase order, buyers should be able to specify the various standards to which they are purchasing the material. These standards need to be clearly shown on the purchase order that is mailed, e-mailed or faxed to the vendor. The standards specified on the purchase order must be passed on to the inventory when received so that the system can validate the standards against the actual test results.
Quality control: When the material is received, the system should provide the ability to verify that the properties of the material (from the mill test certificates) conform to the various metal standards specified by providing a pass/fail result for each standard. Given that one PO or product can be expected to meet more than one standard, the system should allow any item to be certified to any number of metal standards.
To facilitate the process, a modern ERP system would have a gateway or exchange mechanism that allows, where possible, for the chemical and mechanical values to be electronically imported, as an alternative to the manual entry. This makes the entry process much faster and more accurate.
This process is also very important for companies that send their own test certificates with the shipment (in place of or addition to a copy of the original mill test certificate), as the system will pick up any entry errors that would otherwise be printed on their test certificates and potentially create customer returns. For companies that do not wish to record the actual chemical and mechanical properties, the system should allow for the recording of the material standards without any verification.
Inventory search: Metal ERP systems designed to meet this specific business requirement will allow sales and production staff to easily find material that matches a customer's standards. Search options should include metal standards (such as ASTM 1031, MIL-T 9047, etc.) as well as the option to enter one or more chemical and mechanical properties and compare it to the customer's acceptable result range. These features ensure that personnel can quickly identify what items can be used for a customer order without having to page though multiple inventory screens and visually scan for the right information.
Sales order entry: When entering sales orders, sales staff should be able to specify on the sales order the metal standards required by each customer. Alternatively, customers may provide their minimum and maximum values for selected chemical and mechanical properties. Once the metal standards are specified on the sales order or quote, the system should automatically filter any inventory lookups done from the quote or sales order, to ensure that any material reserved to the order will match the customer's requirements. Some systems provide a feature where the user is warned if the material selected does not match the customers' specifications or alternatively blocks the reservation of any material that does not meet the specification.
Production: For some service centers, the material selection is left up to the warehouse staff that picks the material for shipment or processing. In these cases, it is important that the system display for selection or print on the pick list only the material that meets all the requirements of every order on a specific job. For example, if three orders were grouped together on a single plate cutting job, each order could have the same or different material specifications.
For companies that are required to meet exacting customer requirements, the integration of metal standard verification is critical and provides the following benefits:
n Improved customer service—Customer service is improved by ensuring that only material that meets their requirements is shipped to them.
n Certification accuracy—Ensures any company test certificate contains accurate chemical and mechanical properties that are within the customer's specifications.
n Increased productivity—Sales and production staff spend less time searching for material that meets customer requirements as the system automatically filters out stock that does not meet the specifications.
n Cost reduction—Eliminates costly mistakes caused by picking, processing or shipping material that does not meet customer requirements.
n Improved quality—Provides a more streamlined and automated quality assurance process that eliminates manual verification of standards.

Recent national controversy over the role of prominent national law firms in providing pro bono representation for alleged enemy combatants detained at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Cuba offers important lessons for the public and attorneys on the duty of attorneys to provide appropriate legal representation for unpopular individuals even where those individuals may ultimately be determined to be criminals or dangerous to society.
Earlier this month U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Affairs Charles "Cully" Stimson in a radio interview suggested that corporate clients of large law firms providing pro bono representation in legal proceedings involving alleged enemy combatants should force those law firms to choose between representing detainees and continuing to represent reputable firms.
Mr. Stimsons initial radio interview remarks acknowledged the importance of pro bono legal representation, but suggested that such representation should be restricted to deserving persons or causes. Subsequently Mr. Stimson apologized for these remarks in a letter to the Washington Post and an official Defense Department spokesman immediately repudiated Mr. Stimsons statements as not representing the views of the Defense Department or the thinking of its leadership.
These remarks have been widely criticized by the deans of more than 130 U.S. law schools, the president of the American Bar Association, and the president of the New York State Bar Association.
The United States Supreme Court in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, 548 U.S. ___, 126 S.Ct. 2749 (2006), has recognized that even alleged enemy combatants have legal rights. In our legal system representation by an attorney is necessary to protect legal rights. An attorney should never be seen as endorsing the political views or actions of a client by providing legal representation. The Rules of Professional Conduct recognize this in Rule 1.2(b) which states: A lawyer's representation of a client, including representation by appointment, does not constitute an endorsement of the client's political, economic, social or moral views or activities.
This rule reflects the need to have attorneys provide legal representation for all people and is fundamental to our legal system. Pennsylvania lawyers have a proud history of zealous representation of politically unpopular clients. This history includes such legends of the Pennsylvania Bar as A. Leon Higginbotham for his early championship of civil rights issues; Joseph S. Lord, III for his defense of members of the Communist Party accused of plotting to overthrow the U.S. government; John Dickinson for his advocacy on behalf of the abolition of slavery; and Andrew Hamilton for his defense of John Peter Zenger against charges of seditious libel.
Law firms and attorneys in Pennsylvania are among those who have provided pro bono representation for individual detainees at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib in an effort to ensure that their minimum due process and human rights are protected. The Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys (Rule 6.1 and 6.2) encourage attorneys to undertake such pro bono representation in unpopular matters and those law firms and attorneys who have done this work deserve the thanks of the legal profession and the public for fulfilling their public service duty in doing so.
Kenneth J. Horoho Jr. is president of the Pennsylvania Bar Association. He is a partner in the Pittsburgh law firm of Goldberg, Gruener, Gentile, Horoho & Avalli P.C. Founded in 1895, the Pennsylvania Bar Association exists to promote justice, professional excellence and respect of the law; improve public understanding of the legal system; facilitate access to legal services; and serve the 29,000 lawyers who are members of the association.

I bought this originally as a new ADL model, had the barrel neutered down to 18" and recrowned to 11 degrees, and I bought a Boyd's ADL walnut stock and finished with Truoil.
Stock has been glass bedded, non professionally, using stocky's pillar bed kit.
This rifle is extremely lightweight and you can carry it in the woods all day without a sling.
Round ct is somewhere around 75 rounds.
Now for the extas..
Brand new SPS stock and the complete bottom metal, so can be converted back to a hinged floor plate rifle, if you so choose.
Extra set of ADL bottom metal (plastic trigger guard) and extra spring and mag follower.
Also comes with a 2 piece set of Burris mounts. I originally had a rail on it, but had these laying around, so decided to toss them in.
I would keep this rifle for hunting, but have replaced it with a 6.5X47, as I have gone all 6.5 now.

Mail Tribune
Oregon's legendary Gov. Tom McCall died 30 years ago, yet the Republican's legacy remains alive in the minds of many Oregonians.
With this month marking the 100th anniversary of his birth — March 22, 1913, in Massachusetts — his life and times will be presented Wednesday evening at Southern Oregon University. The Tom McCall Centennial Lecture will be presented by journalist Brent Walth, author of the 1994 book, "Fire at Eden's Gate: Tom McCall and the Oregon Story."
President Bill Clinton described the book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist as "a remarkable biography of a remarkable Oregon governor."
The event begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 13, at SOU's Music Recital Hall in Ashland. Tickets are $10, and can be purchased at the door or online through boxofficetickets.com or sohs.org.
The lecture is co-sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society, the Jackson County Library Foundation, KOBI-TV and the Oregon Community Foundation.
Oregon Public Broadcasting will air "Tom McCall: An Oregon Experience" beginning at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 19. The hourlong documentary will feature Walth, former Oregon Gov. Vic Atiyeh, McCall's former executive secretary, McCall's son Tad and others.
During his eight years in office from 1967 through 1975, Oregon's 30th governor helped push through the Oregon Beach Bill, the Oregon Bottle Bill, unprecedented land-use planning laws and the Willamette River cleanup.
Before running for office, McCall, who graduated from high school in Redmond and later earned a journalism degree from the University of Oregon, worked as a journalist, both in print and television.
He employed his journalistic skills to get his political message out, recalled former longtime Oregon Congressman Bob Smith of Medford, who served as speaker of the Oregon House when McCall was governor. Smith, also a Republican, served 12 years in the Oregon House, followed by 10 in the Oregon Senate before serving 14 years in Congress.
"I can remember him perfectly, sitting before an old typewriter typing out his own press releases," Smith recalled with a chuckle. "He would spend half a day sometimes writing them out.
"But he was a very dedicated Oregonian and very popular, no question about that," he added. "We operated pretty independent of each other. I had respect for him and I think he had respect for me."
Yet the two strong-willed Republicans did have a few clashes.
"I had hired a fellow who worked against him in the election," Smith said. "So McCall called me into the governor's office and said, I understand you are thinking about hiring this fellow.' I told him I had already hired him. He said, You can't hire him. I won't allow it.'
"I told him, Governor, I'm the speaker of the House. You don't tell me what to do. I hired him and he's a good man,' " Smith added. "That was the way we had started out together."
But Smith is quick to observe that McCall worked hard to earn a lasting legacy for the state he loved.
"We didn't have very many issues," he said. "He was a very social guy."
McCall served as governor of Oregon at a time when the state was experiencing "relatively good economics," Smith said.
"It was also when we were having trouble taking care of the demands of people coming into the state," he said. "That's when he came up with his Visit but don't stay' reaction. I really think he would have reconsidered that if he had thought about it a bit more."
Then-state Sen. Atiyeh won the 1978 Republican primary, turning back McCall's bid to return to the governor's chair, and later beat Democratic incumbent Bob Straub that November. Once in office, the new governor had a sign reading, "Welcome to Oregon. Enjoy your visit" erected along Interstate 5 at the California border.
"The thing about Tom, once he grabbed a hold of something he was tenacious," Atiyeh, 90, told the Mail Tribune on Monday. "I never had any negative thoughts about Tom. We were friendly. But he had a large ego."
Atiyeh, who served as governor for eight years beginning in 1979, noted that many of McCall's accomplishments were also based on the work of the Oregon Legislature.
"But, because he was there, he was able to get them through," Atiyeh said, reiterating, "He was very tenacious. He hung on until they were done."
McCall died of prostate cancer on Jan. 8, 1983. He was 69.

text: I've had an Aire Super Puma w/ NRS frame since 2000. Its on a trailer now and has been towed/used all over Montana. I recently purchased a travel trailer for the family. To have a little family fun (and slum a little fishing on the side) I've been trying to come up with a way to transport the raft while towing the travel trailer. I realize there are better cartopper boats, but I've already spent too much $$$, and the raft is a perfectly good and safe boat for lakes and lazy rivers. My truck is a Chevy Avalanche which has a short 5'6" cargo top, so the options I see are: 1. Partially deflate and fold the raft end to end (with the frame attached) and strap it to the cargo cover 2. Fully deflate the raft and carry it inside the truck bed, strap the frame to the cargo cover. If setup is a pain in the ass, it won't get used, so I'd rather not fully deflate. Once we are at our camping destination, I can use a truck bed extender to haul the raft short distances, but not on highways. Any ideas, good or bad experiences trying to pull this off? Not interested in a triple rig, although it is legal in MT. Thanks!

Mirror Mirror: Self-portraits by women artists
Doris Zinkeisen
by Doris Zinkeisen
exhibited 1929
12 September 2001 - 20 January 2002
Studio Gallery
Admission Free
Virtual tour of the exhibition
(best seen with set screen resolution to 1024 x 768)
Publication| Links
The self-portrait has always been an artist's most intriguing vehicle for analysis and self-expression. This exhibition brings together all of the self-portraits by women artists from the Gallery's collection alongside loans and new works acquired or commissioned by the Gallery for this exhibition
Spanning four centuries, the exhibition includes work by 40 artists, from the mid 17th century to the present day. It features works in all media, including oil painting, photography, prints drawings and sculpture. Highlights of the exhibition include self-portraits by major artists and photographers such as Mary Beale, Gwen John, Barbara Hepworth, Lee Miller, Eileen Agar, Laura Knight and Maggi Hambling. Lesser-known figures are also represented - Lallie Charles, the Zinkeisen sisters, Helen Chadwick, and an astonishing self-portrait ceramic relief by Susie Cooper.
Several contemporary artists have contributed work to the exhibition including Yolanda Sonnabend, Elizabeth Blackadder, Victoria Crowe, Jennifer McRae and Daphne Todd.
The unusual freedom offered to the artist by the dual roles of subject and creator allows the viewer a unique opportunity to see the artist represented in their own terms. The exhibition introduces the history and function of the self-portrait and raises questions of identity, style and technique as well as exploring social, historical and gender issues.

Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary on October 2nd also marked the launch of a new Mont blanc pen that has been 'dedicated' to the famous man's legacy. Now, many people might have obejected to this rather unexpected gesture coming from a luxury brand because Gandhi never really lead a life or believed one with riches. Nonetheless, let us introduce you to this range that was unveiled by one of Gandhi's grandsons – Tushar. Dubbed Mahatma Gandhi Limited Edition 241, this one has been made in 18 carat gold and has an engraving that depicts Gandhi setting off on the salt march (July 1930).
The price is huge at 17K Euros. And if that is a bit out of range for you, then take a look at the fountain and rollerball versions of the same pen for approximately $3000. This one is a limited edition with only 241 commemorative gold fountain pens. Gnadhi's signature and a saffron-colored opal adorn each of the pens. Then there is the 26-foot golden thread accompanying the pen to be wound around it, this one recalls the spindle that Gandhi used to weave for a simple cotton cloth.
The pen has been further packaged into a luxury box that has a booklet with Gandhi's quotes. So much in poor taste because bling is something that you cannot associate the great leader with. But there is a silver lining to the whole effort. We are told that Mont blanc will be donating a part of the sales to support Indian causes.

Where Women Cook
I'm so excited to share with you the debut of my "Homemade Living" column in the brand spanking new quarterly periodical Where Women Cook!
The premiere issue features a cover story on Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman fame along with a regular column by the original farm girl herself, Mary Jane Butters, penning her lifetime of wisdom in "Farm Love."
The spring issue promises to offer up tasty recipes and writing from Molly Wizenberg, my food blogger girl crush and the powerhouse behind Orangette and A Homemade Life.
I'm amazed at the good fortune afforded me to be in such illustrious company. What an auspicious beginning, right???
Where Women Cook can be found in bookstores nationwide. Check it!

Miami's luxury real estate market remains upbeat and has witnessed the second $30 million transaction in less than a month. A waterfront estate on La Gorce Island called the Castello del Sol was purchased for $30 million on Monday. The property is a fine example of classic Miami opulence. It has been developed like a resort and boasts of all luxury amenities including a lagoon style pool overlooking the bay. It is a gated Mediterranean style compound that is now the third most expensive single family home in the Miami Dade County. The two properties that were priced higher were sold last year and are located on the nearby Indian Creek Island.
The Estate Boasts of 349 Feet of Biscayne Bay Frontage
The other real estate deal in the region that crossed the $30 million mark was the sale of two side by side penthouse condos in the up-and-coming Residences at Miami Beach Edition. The prestigious deal worth $34 million was concluded earlier this year. Castello del Sol is spread over two acres of the La Gorce Island and the gate compound juts out from Miami Beach. The estate has 349 feet of Biscayne Bay frontage and boasts of three teak docks that can even accommodate a large yacht. Apart from the lagoon style pool the compound has a waterfall and a swim-up bar. The estate also has a lighted tennis court, a gym, a one-bedroom guest house, a two-bedroom staff apartment and on-property guard house.
Furniture Designed by Versace Adds to the Luxury of the House
The main house on the estate has 17,000 square feet of living space with eight bedrooms and nine and one half bathrooms. The home with gold leaf accents also boasts of a double kitchen, a library, a theater, a safe room, and a rooftop lounge overlooking the bay and downtown Miami. Furniture designed by Versace add to the luxurious look and feel of the home. Trophy homes like Castello del Sol have a very limited supply and they attract the attention of both domestic and international buyers. The estate located at 42, La Gorce Circle was first listed in October with an asking price of $37 million. The Jills represented the seller and EWM Realty International represented the anonymous buyer.
